Episode #1 - SAAD- Suicide Awareness, Anxiety, and Depression. Nearly everyone suffers from anxiety, depression, loneliness, and even suicidal thoughts. It is how those are processed in our brain that determines if we can manage them or if they overwhelm us. Our premier episode for the Help Us Save Lives TV show identifies signs of mental illness and a pathway toward mental wellness. Suicide IS preventable. Anxiety and depression are the early signs of mental stress and illness and suicide is the end of someone's life when the pain overwhelms them to the point that ending that pain is better than choosing to continue their life, with endless agony and pain for the ones they leave behind. This CNN article shows the situation is only getting worse! https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/10/health/suicide-deaths-record-high-2022/index.html
