About this listen

In this episode, I talk about suicide risk and prevention in individuals with anxiety disorders. Although we don’t often talk about suicide and anxiety together, research consistently shows that the presence of an anxiety disorder significantly increases one’s risk of dying by suicide. Listen in to hear me talk about why this is the case and steps that we can take to reduce the risk of suicide. I also talk about what to do if you or someone you know is thinking about suicide and conclude with some words of hope and light.
