Dr. Christine Moutier: We All Have A Role to Play
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2021
- Dr. Christine Moutier (Chief Medical Officer, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention) debunks myths about suicide and discusses the big risk factors associated with the act. She details her path to becoming a suicide prevention advocate and shares how her own mental health journey during medical school led her to become a safe space for others. Dr. Moutier lists the occupations with the highest risk of suicide, the suicide patterns across every demographic, and the physical, emotional, and psychological factors that increase one’s risk. Mayim opens up about her family’s experience with suicide and highlights the importance of not waiting to seek help. She and Dr. Moutier consider the elevated suicide rates among LGBTQIA+ communities, the role social media plays in cyberbullying and suicide, and the importance of combating the epidemic of loneliness with interpersonal connections. They highlight the significance of having an open dialogue within family circles and the benefits of interactive screening programs before another engaging round of You Might Need Help If...

I absolutely needed and appreciated this episode. as someone who lost their mother to suicide at age 12 this episode was extremely helpful and insightful and im so happy to see that we are going in such a positive way!!
thank you for being willing to share this with us, and for the support of our work.
I think it's amazing that you lend your celebrity to an undertaking that actually helps people. Kudos.
thank you!
Johnathan makes an interesting comment about his brother and I believe it would make a good future topic regarding the navigation of survival vs quality of life for the disabled.
This topic made me cry. It's like I am talking to Miss Mayim. I can imagine she's hugging me, telling I'll be alright. Life has been very difficult for me. I lost both my parents last year. These topics help me a lot.
It's true that whatever profession a person has, there are some who still needs help. Because of the stigma, it is difficult to share.
Thank you so much Miss Mayim and Mister Jonathan. I'm glad I found your podcast. Keep spreading the love and help to those who are in need. Lovelots! ❤️
I'm so sorry for the loss of both of your parents. 💔💔
I love how scientific and research based her answers were. Something that I would have loved her view on is the idea of “I don’t want to die, but I just don’t want to live.”
It was 11 years in March that my dear brother committed suicide by hanging. I was the last to see him alive because he died in my arms. That day, I will have arrived at his place 5 minutes earlier, I might have been able to save him. I was 24 and today at 36 the trauma is still there. It was the start of my descent into hell. The day after this tragedy, I myself almost did the irreparable. After months and months of therapy, thanks to some people and my work, I am doing better despite some things still triggering violent crises.
Mine too. He hang himself. I was the first sibling there with the judge and the police taking him dawn. The memory of his altered face then is and will be forever in my mind. How I understand you! Biggest hug and all possible comfort in the common grieving…

This topic makes my heart very heavy. However, it gives me hope that there are people like Dr Moutier out there making the world a much better place. Conversations can save lives, whether you're a mental health expert or not.
We agree completely.
I'm only 5min and just wanna say a huge THANK YOU - I have suicidal thoughts but I know it isn't in the suicide plan space, but the (UK) medical system really makes it difficult to be honest about this for fear of the more extreme repercussions (I've been hospitalised before) - I categorically will not express this stuff to my doctor, and I still hesitate even in a private paid counselling environment, but that hesitation and the societal strictures behind it are counterproductive
Totally understand where you are st. Dr Wayne Dyer audiobooks have helped immensely for me.
That is a significant problem in the US system, also, even with the used of the term "committed suicide" as if a crime.
The intensity of the topic and the intelligent and warm way it was addressed in these two last episodes, having experienced one suicide in my close family has kept me exhausted, crying and broken hearted. But so thankful too for being so open and brave to break the stigma and talk about what people usually feel as a shame to be kept in secrecy.
Thank you for discussing this topic. My brother killed himself at 29. I was 20. He suffered from clinical depression for years, triggered by my father's illness (cancer) and subsequent death. I agree that the grief is different for both. He suddenly stopped taking his meds, and he went into a spiral, but he hid it so well. The hardest part about the grief for my brother, I think, is the "what ifs," - always wondering if there was something that I could've done to stop him, or something I could've said. It's guilt, basically, and it's been years now, but it never goes away.
💔💕
Dear Mayim & Jonathan: As one who five years ago lost a loved & proffessionally successful brother after his first & sudden suicide attempt, who after that still grieves, I say from the bottom of my heart, a knot in my throat & tears in my eyes: THANK YOU!
Thank you for sharing this, for supporting us and being willing to be vulnerable.
@@MayimBialik Never thankful enough to you, to Jonathan and to this amazing podcast! 🙏🏼💛
Thank you so much for this episode. I have dealt with depression since I was a teenager as well as my dad but never had to deal with suicidal ideation and plans and goodbye letters until 5 months ago when I had to take my daughter to the ER and then to the hospital. It’s been a long exhausting time but I’m grateful we got good help and she is on her road to recovery. Still we are aware that this might be a life long battle and share our struggles when we can so you know it can get better
Wonderful!!! Thanks to Dr. Christine, Mayim, and Jonathan for all you do! I came from a family & relationships touched by suicide. The hardest part is seeing tendencies in my children.
As a proud Canadian, 🇨🇦, Mayim your introduction for Jonathan was priceless! Yes your best yet for sure!, ♥️, because he is as sweet as the Maple syrup!!
I am dealing with this issue myself… Ive attempted 2 times, the last I was found by police and thanks to this I’m alive today… I’m fighting a lot… thanks for this… greetings from Spain ❤️
I hope you find lasting help. ♥
Glad you made it. If you are ok with talking about it, may I ask how your life has changed from pre-attempt, to post-attempt? I ask because I’ve always been told that your life will never return to normal ever again and you will be forced into a mental hospital.
Hey Mayim thank you for this episode it brought a lot of things home back in 2013 my auntie committed suicide and it was the most painful thing my family has ever been through it still hurts even now but thank you so much for doing this episode it looked painful for you talking about it , I love you Mayim ❤️❤️xx
My wife suffered from depression and was diagnosed as bipolar. She eventually committed suicide some years ago. I was shocked that it happened and shocked how people reacted to it. It was very taboo and extremely hard for those left behind after it happened. No answers and No one to turn to to help you understand what happened. I think because no one wants to talk about it. But I’m still here I took it day by day and read a lot of self help books. 😁👍
Thanks for all you do with this channel. I am so very grateful.
I wasn’t gonna listen to this this morning because I just wasn’t feeling in the mood for something heavy. But literally as I pushed pause my phone rang and it was my husband. Calling to tell me that a friend and an old coworker of ours (we all worked together at one time but he and I worked side by side at a shared desk for a couple years and had many laughs) committed suicide last night. This is the 4th person I have known in 6 years to commit suicide. My heart is heavy today. Deflated.
I'm so sorry for your loss!
Thank you for making awareness about suicide. Society has a long way to go.
We lost our 27 year old daughter to suicide.
She did not want to do this. The guilt for her was terrible, which made things even worse. Our health care system in Canada for people suffering from metal health issues it terrible.
This pain is unbearable. You move forward into the future with this grief just under the surface.
Thank you again for bring this up.
Excellent video. Right on the mark
Thank you for listening, supporting and being open with us here. Sending love.
Sorry for your loss:(
I was once told ‘I need you’ that made me realize that I could never commit suicide. There are so many people and pets that tell me I’m needed it comforts my lonely feelings that pop up sometimes. My therapist helped me realize I get depressed when I’m hungry. Now I prioritize eating healthier often and have more uplifting moods.
This episode is what I need for now, thanks for make this episode
To say this is such an important topic is such an understatement. Much gratitude to you for talking about this!! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This podcast had such a different feel to it. Not sure as to why perhaps because I have an 11 year old struggling with so much on all these topics. Sadness, ideation, sexual orientation questioning, self harm. Thank you for continuing to shine a light on the importance of being human and being allowed to be human. I love Dr. Christine's voice, articulation, mannerisms and resources
Dr. Moutier has been a pleasure to listen to. What an intelligent, compassionate and well spoken woman.
I Really Really love this. The first 10 minutes, helped me just pick up the phone and get my oldest daughter into therapy. I appreciate you!
I have an adult child I worry about. I appreciate this topic being explained so well.
Thank You for providing such amazing info!
I'm in love with your podcast.
Fascinating...thanks for sharing xo thanks for caring
11:40 "The fourth misconception is you can talk someone out of it, meaning: you have the power to talk someone out of it. This is a really hard one. Professionals who are trained to deal with people who are suicidal are the best people who are best equipped for the most part to deal with individuals who are suicidal. This is a job for professionals. And there are many wonderful free hotlines with trained individuals who take calls around the clock [...]. Telling someone how much you love them, telling them how terrific they are, telling them that they have no reason to be suicidal - it rarely helps. That does not have the power to transform the course of someone's life who is suicidal. I'm not saying don't do those things - but also: Take it incredibly seriously if a person is expressing suicidal ideation and suicidal tendencies."
Great show
I love all the Canadian references.🇨🇦
This is the Harvestehude Podcast to follow. I don't know if I'll be able to watch it all. I will try, though , because this is important.
I wish people would talk more openly about suicide. I just lost a childhood friend from suicide and PTSD.
Podcasts are so helpful
my room mate had me involuntarily committed to the psych ward cuz I was depressed. they sent me home cuz i had no plan to die
I enjoy your podcast very much, I have learned a tremendous about about mental health and other things. I want to know if you have or will ever talk about the problem of health care in the states. You push the sponsors of your show but I have never heard you speak about the healthcare problem in the states.
I would love an episode on how to address depression and anxiety, self harm and suicide with preteens. Having struggled myself, I want my son to know how can talk to me and also to know that I have struggled, but doing it without freaking him out.
Best for you mayim good luck with game show.....i wish the best.
Thank you for discussing this topic.
I went through a lot of suicidal thoughts during my late teens and mid-30s.
How old are you now. I’m 36. And same here
@@jaxster212 I am now 47.
Awesome! Any advice on what help the most?
@@jaxster212 I'd be happy to offer some advice, but the advice would include sharing parts of my family's history. I'd rather not have such information posted on a public comment board. You can message me directly if you'd like. My contact info is in the About page of my TH-cam. If you message via Twitter or Instagram, then be sure to mention "from Mayim Bialik video" in the body of the message, so you know you the message is legit. If you email me, then write "from Mayim Bialik video" in the subject line. I know it won't be spam.
I grew up in a particular part of Toronto Canada called Bathurst Manor. It had one of the highest density when I was growing up of holocaust survivors. When I was a child it was not unusual for family members of my friends to commit or attempt suicide. You think of the trauma of the holocaust it is no wonder Mayim has relatives who experience this. I remember the shame and the hiding of those experiences and it still brings back memories of witnessing the process and the aftermath.
I also live in Toronto. I didn't know there is a high suicide in that area due to the Holocaust but it makes sense! Wow😢!
It's very interesting
Do you ever wonder if suicide in senior adults is tolerated because as a culture we think if a person is not employed, they are a burden on society?
Yes, same reason society gives zero shits about the majority of suicides: low income, and unemployed men.
@@lancewalker2595 in the US men account for 78% of all completed suicides....fact.
@@halfasorrowfoundation Yes?
I get the "You're not a real doctor" thing. I have a J.D. but to a lot of people I don't have a real doctorate even though I have that credential and have spent 20 years studying in field. I think this problem is also doubly as bad when one is also a woman.
You're a real doctor. That issue drives me bonkers 😁
Do you have any significant life tips?
47:30 South Carolina in the house!
I wish I would have seen this when it aired. My wife took her life less than a month after. Coincidentally it was 25 years after my father’s suicide. I am a man sorely vexed and now am trying to grieve while rearing 3 children.
Jason..you will know that the shame or stigma will not continue to taint your days. Growing those 3 children in faith, hope, and love will bring healing
Mayim, I can’t think of another way to get this comment to you. I love you on Jeopardy. You are so darn adorable and classy. Love love love you. Don’t let the bastards get you. Keep on keeping on just as you are.
Is it true that you can't get your medical license if you have received any kind of mental health guidence in the US? If yes, why?
I had to stop for a moment right at the start, when Dr. Christine said there had been 13 faculty suicides in 15 years in her school. That's absolutely unfathomable, and I can't imagine how it affected her, as well as her whole university community.
It's a horrible problem that is swept under the rug. Pamela Wible, MD, is spreading awareness of this and has been involved in a documentary about it.
Right
Can you please talk about ADHD teenagers and parents need to talk to them.
My uncle killed himself a week or 2 before my first plane trip over when I was a baby. He was found by my granddad hung on a tree. My dad told me it was a car accident until his best friend told me the truth when I was 18yrs old. His pastor told him that the pills were from the devil and he should trust in god to heal him, he did the deed the week after he went off his meds. My dad still has a deep hatred and resentment towards religion to this day. Not to say all religions are bad or that all religious people are bad, it's just that individual pastor who steered him the wrong way, his late wife is still a pastor for the same church, so everyone responds differently I guess.
My dad still tells me stories about him to this day and he really looked up to him. He was a very cerebral, intellectual person, very philosophical, slow and methodical, worked in a bookstore and could devour books like nobody's business and my dad was dyslexic but could outwit the best comedians, very quick with a comeback and impulsive. They were the perfect balance for each other.
I call it secondhand therapy for when those close to me listen to what I've learned through therapy even though they are not at the point to take on therapy themselves.
writer Sean Dietrich has written about his father's suicide when Sean was a young boy. He has a great daily post on fb.
nutrition plays huge part in anxiety and depression. Folate and B vitamins..Hemp oil and other good oils have saved me at times. I do not keep fire arms. I have a plan to go into nature on my worst days.
What help from hotlines??! I called every national and local number multiple times and got No help! Hung up on repeatedly, put on hold for like an hour, told not here to tell me what to do when asked if can help calm me down only there to get referral back to same failed insurance that abandoned in first place. Told oh 15 min and got to go by one. Death is suicide from human form regardless, just when known sudden its described as different context.
Hey Mayim and Jonathan, this is not a hate comment just a suggestion. Your pods are really good, I just wish you all stopped using that 1 hour to 1 and half hour limit, if an episode goes to 2 or 3 hours, let it be. Because those guests have so much knowledge that we as audience are eager to learn
* You should not be punished for getting help. Insurance costing more and getting a job are examples. We need to take the shame out of Suicide.* * we all need a Strong Support Team* Anytime, anywhere, and any means.
* Good or bad, don’t prevaricate or equivocate
* *Trauma Has No Time* You can’t fix it if you don’t know why, and have the proper tools to understand it
* * Time to process *
* All Physical facts before treatment
* Reflective Listening
* Active Listening
Mayim😍😍
I have one question, would you consider an eating disorder (anorexia) a form of suicide to oneself ??
Thank you for risking demonetization to talk about this important subject.❤️
I wish the audio was recorded louder because I can't hear mayim and the guests words it's not sinking in because it sounds like there whispering
Are you listening to the speakers on your device, CJ? You need to invest in a good pair of wireless ear buds or headphones.
@@davidadams2395 I'm listening on dre beats headphones the loudest by far but I'm guessing it's supposed to be a calming pod cast not loud
5 stars
Sometimes I'd love you to one day talk to / 'break down with' Jordan Peterson🥺🙏🏼
Not sure if you've ever heard of him.😅
You both are such intelligent people. Because of that you are a role model for me.🤩
Agree 💯%
Your pain is temporary. Your death is forever. Asking for help is so brave. You are worth it. 🙏
admittedly i am only a few minutes in, but as a society, can we please stop further stigmatising suicide by using the expression "commited suicide".
Suicide isnt a choice....its fatal.
That depends on if you subscribe to the empirical illusion of free will.
🎯🎯🎯 People are further stigmatized by the use of a term criminalizing it.
A lot of research has been done on this.
Love you baby
I think the dental suicide rate has something to do with the toxic mercury they are in close contact with.
🎯
Wow, she just blew off the legit concerns Jonathan expressed about people not feeling a sense of belonging or purpose in society. Yikes!
I’m a gay man who hasn’t had sex with a woman in 20 years … but I am absolutely in love with Dr.Moutier
Mix people and doctors better please.
umm no
I recommend you look for fast hair growth fortified shampoo.
Seriously? They look great and can choose how to wear their hair
