Most clinicians begin primarily with prescribing either pharmacologic or psychotherapy interventions.

Suicide rates have skyrocketed in the last few years due in part to the lack of access to mental healthcare caused by the stigma that surrounds seeking treatment. An estimated 15% of people diagnosed with depression and approximately 20% of those diagnosed with bipolar disorder take their own life according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHA) fact sheet. While these numbers are shocking, the statistics do not include the many suicide attempts among those with a mental illness or those that go unreported. SAMHA also claims that one-third of the 15.7 million adults who reported having a major depressive episode in the

The goal of the Mental Health Crisis Hotline is “Working together to achieve hope, healing, and a meaningful life in the community.” The objective is to essentially prevent clients and or individuals from completing suicide by applying crisis intervention/prevention techniques.

The college-based hotline will be another way for students to talk to someone anonymously for those who are too scared to talk to a professional, friend, or family. This way, they can talk about their problems instead of keeping it bundled in and continue to feel the negative feelings and thoughts. This will be aimed for students that are quieter than others or who are scared to talk in public or private settings and just want to remain anonymous. There will be a graduate student in charge of the hotline and various undergraduate volunteers to answer phone calls throughout the day. There will be set hours for the college-based hotline since it will be run by college students. Because of this fact, we will also promote the National Suicide

Have you ever wondered what really causes depression? Or how people are even depressed and not just sad? The reason I chose this topic is because I have depression. Not only that but I only know a limited amount of this disorder, and also considering the fact that depression runs along side both of my mom’s and dad’s side of the family. My curiosity grows as I wonder, what does this really mean? Why was i diagnosed with depression? Is depression permanent or can it be cured? How? Where does depression come from? On this journey as i take you into the world of mental health knowledge, you will also get to know a little bit about depression, and maybe answer some of your questions.

Stress and situational depression are seen as just a part of life. As people grow and experience life they encounter events that trigger stress and signs of depression. These events can include changes in the professional world, death, and academics. Changes in mood such as these are temporary, and are pretty common. Aside from these normal occurrences actual depression, or clinical depression, is seen in 1 in 10 Americans. Clinical depression is a mental illness that that can prohibit normal daily functioning.

Depression have become a major problem in our society today. People who haven’t experience depression will not understand how it feel and what it can do to a person. Many people also doesn’t understand what depression is, or how it can related to suicidal ideation. In fact, studies have documented that the majority of young suicide victims had depression at the time of death and most suicide survivors were diagnosed with symptoms of clinical depression at the time of their attempt (Mojs, Biederman, Głowacka, Strzelecki, Ziemska, Samborski 2015).
