Episode notes
Trigger Warning: The topic of male suicide is discussed in this episode. If this is a subject that you’ll find difficult to listen to, then this might not be the episode for you right now?
This subject was raised by listener Alex from Poland, who sent in the following question for us to discuss:
“Not listened to your podcast in a long long time, but nice to see you are still going. I see I’ve got a lot of listening to catch up on. Could you discuss the serious subject of male suicide and its potential hidden threat?”
Neither Stuart or William are experts on this subject, but have both had experiences of suicide and mental health, which they draw on in this episode.
The in depth conversation that was sparked by this question lead Stuart and William to talk about some of the various aspects of suicide, not just male suicide. They also to talk about mental health as well, with one of the conclusions being that its potentially best to take the gender out of it, we perhaps need to talk more about suicide in general?
