Teacher Duty to Report Suicide Statements

Limited to present remarks, not to past diary entries. Carrier v Lake Pend Oreille Sch. Dist, No. 84, 134 P.3d 655 (Idaho 2006).

Physician Suiciders Were Not Treated Enough

This repeats the point of what works. Air Force style reporting and mandated treatment of the underlying disorder.

Thanks for the Business, But This is a Waste of Time

Young people rarely commit suicide. Every discouraged word will now require a wasteful evaluation.

It would be far more useful to provide 2 hours of training yearly to all employee supervisors, and to all staff where elderly people live. They have high rates of suicidal urges and completions.

Reporting and treatment of the diagnosis, are the sole effective preventive remedy.

Too Few Suiciders Had Anti-depressants in their Bodies

Only a small fraction of suiciders had anti-depressants, at time of death. Here.

Air Force Like Program at U of Illinois and at Cornell Reduces Suicide Rate by 40%

Referrals of students threatening suicide to just 4 sessions helped reduce the rate. Presumably, those with serious disorders stayed in treatment after the first mandatory four visits.

Suicide Attempts Timing and Anti-depressants

The highest rates were among psychiatry patients, lower in psychotherapy, lowest in primary care. Among all these three groups, attempts were highest prior to anti-depressant prescription, lower in the month after treatment, and declined thereafter. Reported here.

This finding supports the sole method to lower the suicide rate, long term treatment.

Again, I call for the entire FDA Psychopharmacology Committee and the FDA Commissioner to resign for their irresponsible black box warnings and caving in to political pressure. These PC, craven, academic traitors to clinical care caused an increased rate of suicide in pediatric patients, especially boys under 15. These incompetents no longer belong in any responsible position.

An interested reader submits this great YouTube video. It depicts the overheated bullying of the FDA Committee by scapegoating parents, left wing ideologues, and biased partisan hacks. It lacks any rebuttal of the effects of the Committee's craven, bonehead decision. No one mentions the hundreds of deaths the decision caused, by deterring the use of anti-depressants in adolescents.

Another Long Term Treatment Program Reduces Suicide

In an area of Hungary, training of family practitioners to use more anti-depressants reduced the suicide rate of women by 34%, compared with increases of 90% in comparison areas. Alcoholism was a factor in 75% of male suicides and 21% of female suicides. The program succeeded despite its not addressing nor affecting the rate of alcoholism.
