About this listen
This episodes covers the strange increased suicide rates found across mountainous areas of our country. Suicide rates are significant higher in ski resorts towns. Dr. Logan Noone and Dr. Joon Chun cover the socioeconomic factors, substance use, and social isolation factors that could be contributing to this. They also cover how increased elevation may also be part of this problem, possibly leading to inappropriate levels of dopamine and serotonin. Lastly, they highlight "The Mountain in My Mind," a documentary available on youtube that sheds light on mental health problems within the skiing community.
