The thoughts won't kill you … Only the actions can kill you. So, having the thoughts themselves is not the dangerous part. And then once we get past that, then we can start thinking about what are these thoughts really representing.

Introduction
Suicide is incredibly difficult to talk about, but we need to be more open about it so we know how to spot warning signs and triggers and keep each other safe.
The Ologies podcast, hosted by science correspondent Alie Ward, aims to answer the science questions you've always been afraid to ask.
In this September 2024 episode, Ward speaks with DeQuincy Meiffren-Lézine, suicidologist, author, and director of the Lived Experience Academy, a suicide prevention training center.
