There have always been taboo subjects that no one wants to talk about in public. In the modern age, many of these once-taboo subjects are now out in the open. The free discourse of thought is something that our modern minds have become used to.
Yet there is one subject that no one wants to talk about. The one thing that is responsible for more deaths every year than automobile accidents, War, and Natural disasters combined. Easily preventable and often the last thing on anyone’s mind.
The questions I have is this: Why is it not talked about, why are they overwhelmingly male, and why are we not paying closer attention?
Today Andrea and I are joined by Frank King, a former writer on The Tonight Show for 20 years, a Corporate Comedian, syndicated humor columnist, and podcast personality who was featured on CNN's Business Unusual.
Frank is a Suicide Prevention and Postvention Public Speaker and Trainer
Depression and suicide run his family. He's thought about killing himself more times than he can count. He's fought a lifetime battle with depression, and thoughts of ending his life, turning that long dark journey of the soul into a TED Talk, "A Matter of Laugh or Death," www.FrankTEDTalk.com, and sharing his lifesaving insights on Mental and Emotional Health Awareness, with a corporation, association, youth (middle school and high school), and college audiences www.TheSuicidePreventionSpeaker.com.
As an Inspirational and Motivational Public Speaker and Trainer, he uses the life lessons from the above, as well as lessons learned as a rather active consumer of healthcare, both mental and physical, to start the conversation giving people who battle Mental and Emotional Illness permission to give voice to their feelings and experiences surrounding depression and suicide and to create a common pool of knowledge in which those who suffer, and those who care about them, can swim.
If you have thoughts of suicide, you can text "home" to 741741 or visit the website crisistextline.org or call 988 to speak to someone.
You can even Call Frank King himself anytime you feel you need someone to talk to @ 858.405.5653 or email frank@thementalhealthcomedian.com
