Southern Remedy Relatively Speaking | World Suicide Prevention Day

Today is world suicide prevention day. One of the most devastating events that can happen to a person is to lose a loved one to suicide. There’s been a lot of attention to the topic, but the rate of suicide has increased by 30% in the last 20 years. Why is that? What can we do to stop losing those we love to this hopeless act? Today we’ll talk with Dr. Monica Sutton, Professor of Pediatrics at the Center for the Advancement of Youth at the University of Mississippi Medical Center about warning signs and how to take action.

  • Southern Remedy Relatively Speaking | Is It Worry or Anxiety?

    35:47|
    Host: Dr. Susan Buttross, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, and Abram NanneyTopic: Today, we're talking about something that we all experience: worry. The fleeting unease before a job interview, the persistent thoughts about a big presentation—Meeting someone new or even whether or not a trip will go off as planned. These worries are just normal parts of life. But when does that feeling cross the line into something more, something chronic, excessive, and at times debilitating? When does worry become anxiety and then when does anxiety become an anxiety disorder? We’ll explore that distinction today and discuss when it's time to seek help.You can join the conversation by sending an email to: family@mpbonline.org.
