I remember back in uh when you know nine eleven happened.

Uh we were losing friends and communities that were just falling into deep depression and um

You know, a term we call existential depression.

Meaning they don't quite understand the world around 'em, they f they realize they don't fit into the world around them.

And that can be that can be devastating.

So if they don't have the social and emotional support, if they don't have

you know, that that development of those type of social emotional habits that are gonna help them navigate through the day.

They can be lost.

There's a lot of work being done.

I think uh Doctor Tracy Cross over at Gloom and Mary is doing a lot of work on suicide and depression with gifted individuals.

And uh you know, the the numbers aren't staggering but the the vulnerability is is is really out there.
