There have always been taboo subjects that no one wants to talk about in public. In the modern age, many of these once taboo subjects are now out in the open. The free discourse of thought is something that our modern minds have become used to. Yet there is one subject that no one wants to talk about. The one thing that is responsible for more deaths every year than automobile accidents, War, and Natural disasters combined. Easily preventable and often the last thing on anyone's mind. The questions I have is this: Why is it not talked about, why are they overwhelmingly male, and why are we not paying closer attention? Today Andrea and I are joined by Frank King, , a former writer on The Tonight Show for 20 years, a Corporate Comedian, syndicated humor columnist, and podcast personality, who was featured on CNN's Business Unusual.

He's fought a lifetime battle with depression, and thoughts of ending his life, turning that long dark journey of the soul into a TED Talk, "A Matter of Laugh or Death," www.FrankTEDTalk.com and sharing his lifesaving insights on Mental and Emotional Health Awareness, with corporation, association, youth (middle school and high school), and college audiences www.TheSuicidePreventionSpeaker.com As an Inspirational and Motivational Public Speaker and Trainer he uses the life lessons from the above, as well as lessons learned as a rather active consumer of healthcare, both mental and physical, to start the conversation giving people who battle Mental and Emotional Illness permission to give voice to their feelings and experiences surrounding depression and suicide, and to create a common pool of knowledge in which those who suffer, and those who care about them, can swim.

Frank King believes "You can make a difference. You can save a life. I can show you how." In 2016 Frank King began coaching potential TEDx Talkers, when a number of his speaker coaching clients approached him and asked if he would coach them on scoring a TEDx Talk opportunity. Since then, those half-dozen clients have all done their first TEDx Talk, one of those is scheduled to do her second early in 2019, and four of them are also in the second round of auditions for DukeTEDx! Frank King was a writer for the Tonight Show for 20 years, and he holds the record for the longest non-stop comedy club road trip ever. Beginning the day after Christmas in 1985, he and his wife (who must have the patience of Job) were on the road 2,629 nights in a row, comedy club to comedy club and cheap motel room to cheap motel room, with no home, just a PO Box and voice mail. Along the way he worked with Jerry Seinfeld, Jeff Foxworthy, Ron White, Adam Sandler, Dennis Miller, Ellen DeGeneres, Rosie O'Donnell, Kevin Nealon, Bill Engval, Dr. Ken Joeng, Rita Sirleaf and Kevin James among others. Since becoming a public speaker on Suicide Prevention in 2014, he's done five TEDx Talks, has another one scheduled for February, and he's in the second round of auditions for DukeTEDx.

He's thought about killing himself more times than he can count. He is a Motivational Public Speaker who uses his life lessons to start the conversation and give people permission to voice their feelings and experiences surrounding depression and suicide.He does this by coming out, as it were, and standing in his truth, and doing it with humor.He believes that where there is humor there is hope, and where there is laughter there is life. Nobody dies laughing. The right person, at the right time, with the right information, can save a life.You are going to learn a lot in this episode: from how to notice depression and suicidal ideation in people you care about and what to do if you notice those things in yourself or others to how to pitch yourself as a TEDx speaker and tips to actually get booked on TEDx stages around the world.TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:Talking about mental illness helps other people with mental illness know they are not alone.If you are suffering from depression here are three things Frank recommends that have helped him: 1. Have a self-care plan, which includes: diet, exercise, a good night's sleep, meditation, and medication 2. Gamify things on your to-do list 3. Maintain a routineControl the things you can control that will aid your mental health.If you want to do a TEDx talk, type into Google “TEDx Applications 2021” and look for the dot coms. There will be a link on those websites to apply to speak.Many TEDx markets are highly competitive, so i f you want to do a TEDx talk, you need to grab the application committee from immediately and not let them go until they are pretty far down the page.Know the three to six learning objectives of your TEDx talk because the TEDx committee will ask.Apply to give TEDx talks all over the place. 8 out of 10 suicidal people want someone to notice they are suicidal and interrupt their plans.9 out of 10 suicidal people give hints in the week leading up to an attempt.Frank believes the most dangerous sign is if someone has been depressed forever and all of a sudden they are happy for no apparent reason. They may have chosen time, place, and method and are happy because they know it's coming to an end. ***If you or someone you know is having suicidal thoughts, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, or text “HOME” to 741741.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:http://www.TheMentalHealthComedian.comhttp://www.YourTEDxCoach.com http://www.facebook.com/thementalhealthcomedianhttp://www.instagram.com/mentalhealthcomedianhttps://www.youtube.com/thementalhealthcomedianSuicide Prevention Punchline PodcastSONG:Bang Sugar Bang - Little Bit of Hope

Frank King talks about mental health and suicide prevention and the signs to look for if someone you know is suicidal and how to help by asking the right questions. In this episode of the podcast, we're talking about the signs of someone who is suicidal, what the signs are and how to help them. Frank opens up about his own thoughts of suicide and gives unsettling statistics of suicide that we don't see everyday. We touch on bullying in the workplace and how that can trigger suicide if it goes unchecked. Frank offers his expertise on what keeps him sane and more. “There's something called depths of despair, 8 out of 10 people die by suicide in the U.S. right now are men. A majority of them are 45 to 54 years of age. And part of the problem is the manufacturing jobs that have disappeared.” Frank King Episode Transcripts: https://sonix.ai/r/VP51ARK6fYp1nnEGZdmNDcej/share Frank's Resources http://www.TheMentalHealthComedian.com http://www.YourTEDxCoach.com http://www.facebook.com/thementalhealthcomedian http://www.instagram.com/mentalhealthcomedian http://www.twitter.com/theMHcomedian https://www.youtube.com/thementalhealthcomedian https://www.linkedin.com/in/frankkingthemhcomedian Born to Be Funny https://youtu.be/mugOzr6ItFkMental With Benefits https://youtu.be/mCnsHSdAn48 A Matter of Laugh or Death https://youtu.be/IeMg6OFYfU0 Suicide, The Secret of My Success https://youtu.be/3D4m33DXtsI Martika's Resources Website: https://grievewithease.com Email: grievewithease@gmail.com Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/grievewitheasepodcast)

Frank King knew he wanted to be a stand-up comedian since he was four years old. After being sidetracked by years of doing what other people wanted him to do with his life, he finally decided to live the life he knew that he was meant to live. Frank focuses much of his comedy material on mental health issues, particularly suicide. In addition to entertaining his audience, his goal is to reach out to people who may be quietly suffering and thought that they were alone. He has also performed a series of TED talks.In addition to speaking and performing, Frank is involved in multiple other activities to inform and educate the public. He provides a continuing education service to healthcare providers that allows them to meet state requirements for suicide prevention training. He also maintains a support group for dentists.
