Suizidprävention: Warum Nachfragen Leben retten kann | Prof. Klaus Lieb bei Talk mit Doc Bartels

More than 10,000 people die by suicide in Germany every year. Despite this, suicidality is often still not discussed enough – in society, in private settings, and even in everyday medical practice. In conversation with Doc Bartels, Prof. Dr. Klaus Lieb, Director of the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the University Medical Center Mainz, explains why directly addressing suicidal thoughts is important, which warning signs should be taken seriously, and how doctors, family members, and friends can provide concrete help. The discussion explores, among other things, why asking questions doesn't "trigger" suicidal thoughts, which warning signs in cases of depression and mental health crises should be taken seriously, the role of general practitioners in early detection, and how help can be organized in acute crisis situations. It also addresses gaps in care, prevention, and society's responsibility in dealing with mental illness.
