if you're in an environment at least where you know you might have a chance to get some help, that might be a factor as opposed to out in the middle of nowhere and you don't know where to turn. Again, I'm only thinking human behavior wise. Clarence.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

You know, one thing that I think is important for all of us and those of us in the listening audience here is to realize this. We all, as human beings, have ups and downs, okay, no matter what. We all have stressors that are more intense at times than others. And it's how... you as a particular human being can cope with them and deal with them from time to time.

So as we come towards the end of the show, I really think it's important that we tell everybody what are the typical kinds of warning signs for suicide. So for instance, people are talking about that they want to die, or they feel guilty, or they have a lot of shame, or they feel as though they're a burden on others. A sense of emptiness or hopelessness, extremely sad or anxious.

Or even for some people, they're experiencing unbearable pain. And that might be from a particular medical condition where they just say, you know what, I can't cope with this anymore. And people start thinking about plans. They make plans ahead of time. What else have you heard, Stefan, from your colleagues as far as warning signs, I guess, in this arena?

It's like, okay, there are...

It's like, okay, there are...

putting the numbers behind it. You know, it's sometimes, you know, you could talk about a particular subject just overall, but then typically somebody will ask, well, how bad is it? You know, or, you know, how many people actually, and then when you put numbers to a particular issue, then, you know, we have these aha moments. And I hope all of us on the show had this aha moment

And it's okay to hold somebody's hand, okay, and help them through things. It's okay to give somebody a hug if they need it. You know, just some support is really good. I appreciate your optimism. You know, and there is. There is something to be said about this. Or as professionals, we should look for that. And because those are the hopeful signs, certainly from a public health perspective.

So Stefan, thanks. Thanks so much. And we'll keep in touch with you to see if there's other information that comes your way. So thanks again. So for our listening audience, we have lots of great shows coming up. It's kind of an interesting segue. We're going to get into the mental health arena a little bit. So next week, we're going to be talking about government and mental health policy.

We're having Senator John Marty come and talk to us about policy at the state level. So lots of great shows coming up on health chatter. So for all of us here,
