Introduction
Despite well-meaning suicide prevention efforts, suicide rates in the U.S. have risen over the past two decades.
Suicide has long been seen as tied to mental illness, but when professionals overrely on this connection, they overlook more comprehensive and effective approaches to prevention and support.
Craig J. Bryan is a clinical psychologist and the Stress, Trauma, and Resilience Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
In his 2021 book, Rethinking Suicide, Bryan looks at the issue of suicide and how decentering the mental illness narrative can lead to better outcomes.
