Speaking of Psychology: Suicide science, with Samuel Knapp, EdD

Suicide rates in the U.S. climbed in all but one state from 1999 to 2016, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report from June 2018. This alarming report and notable celebrity suicide deaths like Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade have pushed this topic further into the national spotlight. Psychologist Samuel Knapp, EdD, discusses the factors that cause people to die from suicide, the effects of past trauma on mental health and how psychologists can successfully treat suicidal patients.
