Trigger warning: suicide, death, and grief.

In honor of September being Suicide Awareness Month, this episode spreads awareness regarding suicidal ideation specifically when it comes to people who are affected by chronic health conditions. This episode discusses suicide awareness and prevalence generally, important language when discussing suicide, suicidal ideation specifically related to chronic illness, and supportive resources and tools.

For any type of suicidal ideation, it is necessary to take it seriously, assess for intent and plan, establish protective factors, a safety plan, and take safety measures if warranted.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, please call 911 or 988.

This is not a substitute for therapy, or substitute for a safety intervention.

You are never alone.

This is the seventh episode in my series of “Diagnosing” where I, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, analyze and, if necessary, diagnose fictional characters from TV and movies.

In this episode I analyze and diagnose characters from the hit series The Summer I Turned Pretty (:

In honor of the last two episodes coming out this week and next, hear my takes on diagnoses, and treatment recommendations for some of the main series characters!

Thanks for listening!

*Disclaimer: this podcast episode is just for entertainment, not meant to be used to diagnose and treat real people. Over-diagnosing is a big issue, so I am only analyzing and diagnosing based on how the character presents on television or in a movie, and if it warrants a diagnosis in my professional opinion.

This episode is simply for information and entertainment purposes. This episode is not a substitute for therapy.
