It's World Suicide Prevention Day. Suicide of those with poor mental health regularly causes premature death - yet research is critically underfunded. Please consider donating: lnkd.in/dxVpSqeG

The 2025 Mental Health Awareness theme is community. It's so important for health-yet loneliness is endemic. Why? What can we do? Some thoughts here:

Why do I feel so lonely even though I'm surrounded by people?
We live in a bustling, crowded world, yet loneliness appears to be on the rise. Why are so many of us feeling isolated and what can we do about it?

Not long ago psychiatry subjected women to horrific breaches of autonomy - & health. Some died (Women's Hour: ⏩ 17 mins). It's a chilling reminder: women's health needs far more research!
