I taught elementary students the song Frere Jacques this week (they didn’t know it previously which is crazy)

“Even many years after discharge, previous psychiatric inpatients have suicide rates that are approximately 30 times higher than typical global rates.” 2/2

“In this meta-analysis of 100 studies of 183 patient samples, the postdischarge suicide rate was approximately 100 times the global suicide rate during the first 3 months after discharge and patients admitted with suicidal thoughts or behaviors had rates near 200 times the global rate.” 1/2
