Can insulin resistance increase the risk of suicide?In this video, Dr. Bret Scher breaks down a new study published in Translational Psychiatry that links metabolic dysfunction with higher rates of suicidal ideation, attempts, and death.Dr. Scher covers:How biomarkers like blood glucose, insulin, lipid profiles, and waist circumference relate to suicide riskHow this study fits with the growing evidence connecting metabolism to mental healthHow routinely monitoring metabolic markers could impact psychiatric careHow ketogenic and other metabolic therapies could reduce the risk of self-harmThe study adds to a growing body of evidence that mental and metabolic health are deeply connected. While more research is needed, understanding and addressing metabolic dysfunction, like insulin resistance, may be a crucial step in reducing suicide risk and improving psychiatric careExpert Featured:Dr. Bret ScherBaszucki Group Medical Directorhttps://x.com/bschermdResources Mentioned:Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of suicide attempt: evidence from a population-based cohort and genomic analysishttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41398-025-03575-1Free CME Clinician Trainings:Are you a clinician who would like to learn more about the science behind these therapies and how to implement them in practice?

Anecdotally, we know there is a correlation between eating disorders and suicide, yet until now, there has been no published research to show that. This week on the Full of Beans Podcast, Han is joined by Dr Una Foye, a Research Fellow at King's College London, who is leading the qualitative arm of an MQ-funded study exploring why people with eating disorders are at higher risk of suicide and self-harm.We talk about the groundbreaking, and long overdue, research that finally puts lived experience voices at the centre of this conversation, why the data has always been harder to read than it should be, and what the findings mean for the way we think about treatment, recovery, and care.In this episode, we explore:The research gap: Why there has been almost no qualitative work asking people with lived experience about the link between eating disorders and suicidality, until now.The hidden statistics: Why deaths connected to eating disorders and suicide are so often recorded under other causes, and what stigma and the historic criminalisation of suicide have to do with it.The complexity of risk: How the eating disorder itself, identity loss, social isolation, and the function it serves can increase suicidal thoughts.Recovery as a risky period: How the removal of support at the point of weight restoration can leave people more vulnerable, not less.Intersectionality and invisibility: How being male, from a minoritised ethnic background, living in a larger body, or being autistic or neurodivergent can compound the risk, and the silence.Siloed services: Why being told "you can't be treated here if you're also self-harming" misses the point entirely, and what holistic, joined-up care could look like instead.Asking the question: Why clinicians are often frightened to ask about suicidality, and why not asking is far more dangerous than asking.Hope in small things: The realisation that support doesn't need to be dramatic - but simple changes and communication can help. Lived experience at the centre: Why Una is so passionate about lived experience and how it is the thing which shapes everything she does.Connect with Us:Subscribe to the Full of Beans PodcastFollow Full of Beans on InstagramCheck out our websiteListen on YouTubeConnect with Una via the KCL website⚠️ Content Note: This episode includes discussion of eating disorders, self-harm and suicide.

Dr. Allen Frances discusses how AI chatbots can provide effective support for everyday stress and mild symptoms, with tens of millions using them, but warns they can be dangerous for vulnerable groups—especially the very young, the very old, the socially isolated, and people with severe mental illness—potentially contributing to psychosis, suicide, or eating disorders. He argues harm is driven by chatbots being programmed to be pleasing and validating to maximize screen time, creating dependency and "echo chambers," and highlights major privacy risks and manipulation potential given extensive data collection and weak safeguards. Frances advocates a hybrid model where therapists and patients train chatbots as assistants aligned with treatment goals, and cautions about industry profit motives, limited regulation, scams, political propaganda, and broader societal risks. He also explains autism's overdiagnosis since DSM-IV's expansion (Asperger's/autism spectrum) and describes ADHD and autism as current fad diagnoses amplified by services and social media. Dr. Allen Frances is a psychiatrist, author, and leading voice on psychiatric diagnosis, mental health, and the risks of overmedicalization. He is widely known for his work on the DSM-IV and for his book Saving Normal, which challenges the overdiagnosis and overtreatment of everyday life struggles. In this episode, he joins Dr. Mike Hart to break down the growing impact of AI chatbots on mental health, therapy, privacy, and clinical care. He explains when chatbot support may be helpful, why vulnerable users can be harmed, how AI could reshape psychotherapy, and why privacy with chatbots may be an illusion. He also discusses the overdiagnosis of autism and ADHD, the role of social media in self-diagnosis, and why false labels can change how people see themselves and their future.

Divorce can hit harder than most men expect. It often brings isolation, loss of direction, and a shift in identity that few people talk about. This episode breaks down what actually happens after separation and why many men struggle more than they anticipated.We also look at the risks that come with isolation, including negative thought patterns and lack of structure, and why having strong community and accountability matters during this phase. If you are going through it, there is a path forward, and it starts with rebuilding structure, purpose, and connection.VIDEOS TO WATCH NEXT:Watch this playlist to figure out how to fix your failing marriage:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEXcvFDdRqPuu_G8-sTLS7eXT7myvidMFWatch this playlist to help you get over your ex for good:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEXcvFDdRqPsZ9JCTSAIkin-oMnavqNJZWatch this playlist to develop an unshakable frame and take control of your life:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEXcvFDdRqPvgN8idHfGfOp3gA8Y0tMxT&si=NccZ6koKYz3hSuUz--------------------------------------------BOOKS THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE➡️ Want to learn the life lessons I wish I knew when I was 18?

Physician-scientist Randall Stafford studies the effects of alcohol use on population health – the true health impact, he emphasizes. Stafford explains how early research suggested that drinking is beneficial – or at least not bad – for people. That mindset produced decades of wishful thinking based on inconsistent science driven by social, emotional, and industry forces. The small cardiovascular benefits, he says, are far outweighed by the risks of cancer, liver disease, depression, and other ills. Although the harms of low-level consumption are small, there is no safe level of alcohol use, Stafford tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

We tell athletes to “shake it off,” “tough it out,” and “get back in the game.”But what happens when the injury is inside the brain, quiet, cumulative, and deadly?In this episode of Hope Illuminated, Dr. John Gaal shares the devastating story of losing his 24-year-old son to suicide and the painful discovery afterward that his son's brain showed hallmark signs of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).That grief became a catalyst for John's work at the intersection of repetitive head trauma, depression, pain, opioids, identity loss, and suicide risk, especially among athletes.This conversation brings together heart and science to ask a question our culture often avoids:How many deaths are we calling “mental health problems” when they may also involve brain injuries we never diagnosed?

A new study has come out by the University of Utah, that reports many who die by suicide aren't actually depressed, but it comes from something else within their genetics.
This episode continues the Heal NPD Seminar Series, featuring Dr. Mark Ettensohn and his associates, Deanna Young, Psy.D., and Danté Spencer, M.A. I n this session, the group discusses a recent meta-analytic review examining suicide-related outcomes in narcissistic personality functioning. The conversation explores why studies using DSM-based diagnoses of Narcissistic Personality Disorder consistently fail to predict suicidal ideation, attempts, or self-injury, while dimensional measures that include vulnerable narcissism show strong and reliable associations with elevated risk. Themes include the distinction between grandiose and vulnerable self-states, the limitations of trait-based and purely behavioral diagnostic models, and the deeper affective and regulatory structures that define pathological narcissism. The team examines how shame, identity instability, emotional dysregulation, and collapse of self-esteem stability contribute to suicidality—and how grandiose presentations can mask underlying fragility in ways that obscure clinical risk. Throughout the seminar, the group reflects on the developmental and relational origins of vulnerable narcissism, emphasizing the role of early emotionally invalidating early environments, contingent self-esteem, and dissociated self-states in shaping defensive functioning. The discussion also highlights clinical challenges in assessing suicide risk in narcissistic patients, including the role of masking, externalization, and shame-driven withdrawal.

Episode 199: Essential Screenings for Young AdultsDr. Lopez presents the most important screening tests for young adults. Dr. Arreaza adds some input on screening for depression and anxiety. Written by Alejandra Lopez, MD. Edits by Hector Arreaza, MD. Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program. You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Dr. Lopez: Screening is testing done to help identify disease in a person or population that typically appears healthy. Our goal as clinicians is to see which children are at increased risk of disease and will merit additional testing. For clinicians, testing should be both easy to perform and interpret. Now let's talk about prevention in young adults.Dr. Arreaza: I can see it is important to talk about young adults because that population may be very hesitant to go to the doctor, in general. Tell us more about it.Dr. Lopez: We all know that early detection and prevention are key, but many young adults skip routine check-ups. Why is that? Sometimes it's lack of awareness, fear, or just not knowing where to start. That's why today, we'll focus on four key screenings that every adolescent and young adult should know about.The Annual Physical ExamDr. Arreaza: I'm excited to talk about it. Many young adults only see a doctor when they're sick, but screenings help catch issues early, sometimes before symptoms even appear. Tell us about the annual wellness exams and why they matter.Dr. Lopez: Let's start with the basics—annual wellness exams. Many young people don't feel the need to see a doctor if they're feeling fine. So, these check-ups are important because many serious health conditions start silently, meaning no symptoms at first. Dr. Arreaza: What do we look for in an annual exam?Dr. Lopez: An annual check-up:· It is important to track growth and development (especially important for adolescents)It also helps monitor blood pressure, weight, and BMI to help find out who is at risk for elevated or low BP, underweight or overweight/obesity, by analyzing both weight and body mass index.· Discuss lifestyle habits like diet, exercise, and sleep· Evaluate whether you are up to date on vaccinations or due for age-appropriate vaccines.· Address any mental health concernsIt's also a great opportunity for young people to establish a relationship with a provider they trust. This makes it easier to discuss sensitive topics like sexual health or mental health.Dr. Arreaza: So, you say that the annual physical exam helps identify all these issues early, and at the same time, you establish a relationship of trust with a doctor who you may need at any time. STI ScreeningDr. Arreaza: That brings us to our second key screening: testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). There are many STIs. Let's focus on gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV. Dr. Lopez, can you breakit down for us? Who needs STI screening, and why is it so important?Dr. Lopez: Absolutely. The CDC recommends that ALL sexually active women under age 25 get screened for chlamydia and gonorrhea annually. HIV testing should also be done at least once for all young adults and annually for those at higher risk. Why is this the case? Because Many STIs have no symptoms, but untreated infections can lead to serious complications like infertility or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women. The good news is that these infections are easily treatable if caught early. If caught later in life, then women and men alike are at risk for worse conditions. Dr. Arreaza: Let's talk about how do we do it?Dr. Lopez: STI screening is simple:· For chlamydia and gonorrhea, it's usually a urine test or a vaginal/cervical/oral swab.· For HIV, it's a quick blood test or even an oral swab.Many young adults avoid testing because of fear, stigma, or concerns about privacy, but most clinics offer confidential or even anonymous testing. Doctors do not share any information regarding the minor or young adult or any patient for that matter. AND if we are requested to share any information with others- then it is our obligation as doctors to ALWAYS ASK THE PATIENT before sharing ANY health information with third parties/other entitiesDr. Arreaza: And that includes parents of minors. Doctors are not allowed to discuss STI test results with parents of minors unless they are authorized by the patient or if the patient is in danger, for example, if this is a result of sexual abuse.Mental Health ScreeningsDr. Arreaza: Now, let's talk about something that's just as important as physical health—mental health. Depression and anxiety are very common in young people, but many don't seek help. How do doctors screen for depression?Dr. Lopez: Screening for depression is now a standard part of primary care. The most commonly used tool is the PHQ-9 questionnaire, which asks about:· Mood changes (sadness, hopelessness)· Loss of interest in activities· Sleep disturbances· Changes in appetite· Difficulty concentratingA score on this test can help determine whether someone is at risk of depression and needs further evaluation or support.Dr. Arreaza: And why should we screen for depression?Dr. Lopez: Because early treatment makes a huge difference. Depression can affect school, work, relationships, and even physical health. But with therapy, lifestyle changes, and sometimes medication, people can and do recover.I always tell young adults: Mental health is just as important as physical health. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.Dr. Arreaza: This is a USPSTF recommendation GRADE B. We are encouraged to screen adults, including pregnant and postpartum women, as well as older adults.HPV Screening & VaccinationDr. Lopez: Dr. Arreaza, finally, let's talk about HPV—one of the most preventable causes of cancer. The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common STI worldwide, and it's responsible for almost all cases of cervical cancer, as well as throat, anal, and penile cancers. The good news? The HPV vaccine is over 90% effective at preventing these cancers. Dr. Arreaza: In fact, from 2015 to 2018, U.S. women ages 14 to 19 experienced an 88% decrease in HPV-related disease. That's a direct result of the vaccine's effectiveness.Dr. Lopez: It's recommended for:· All boys and girls, starting at the age of 9. ACIP gave new recommendations for use of a 2-dose schedule for girls and boys who initiate the vaccination series at ages 9-14 years. Three doses remain recommended for persons who start HPV vaccination at ages 15-26 years and for immunocompromised persons.· Catch-up vaccination is recommended for people up to age 26 (and in some cases, up to 45 with provider recommendation)Dr. Arreaza: And what about screening for HPV? How do we screen?Dr. Lopez: Great question, Dr. Arreaza. Pap smears start at age 21, for all women regardless of sexual activity, and are repeated every 3-5 years depending on HPV testing. Many people think Pap smears check for STIs, but they actually look for abnormal cervical cells that could lead to cancer. HPV vaccination plus routine screening means cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers today!Closing Thoughts & Call to ActionDr. Arreaza: That wraps up today's discussion on essential health screenings for young adults! Dr. Lopez, any final take-home messages?Guest: My biggest message is don't wait until something is wrong to see a doctor. Preventative care is simple, quick, and can save lives.If you're between the ages of 13-26, here's what you should do:-Get an annual wellness exam-Get tested for STIs if sexually active-Check in on your mental health and talk to someone if you need support-Get the HPV vaccine if you haven't already and follow up on screeningTaking these small steps today leads to better health for years to come!Host: That's fantastic! Dr. Lopez. I hope all our primary care providers can take these easy steps to keep our young community healthy.

Take Home Messages: Pioneering Care for Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): The National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICO) at Walter Reed is at the forefront of treating traumatic brain injuries in military personnel. Using an interdisciplinary approach and cutting-edge diagnostic tools such as CT scans, MRIs, and magnetoencephalography, NICO has made significant strides in understanding and treating TBIs since its establishment in 2010. Holistic Treatment Approaches: Beyond traditional medical treatments, NICO incorporates non-traditional pathways such as art, music, dance therapy, and gardening into their care model. This holistic approach acknowledges the complex interplay between physical and psychological health, particularly for conditions like PTSD and major depression that often accompany TBI. Role of Pediatric Care in Military Medicine: Pediatric care is a critical component of the military health system. Military personnel's families, including children, are integral beneficiaries of the system, underscoring the need for specialized pediatric care within military medical facilities. Lessons from Pandemic Responses: Consistent preparedness is essential for effective pandemic response. Experiences from previous pandemics, including recent ones, highlight the importance of maintaining readiness and continuously funding capabilities to handle both natural and potentially engineered pandemics. Significance of Prevention and Research: The military is actively working on preventative measures for TBI, such as baselining before training and exploring biomarkers for early diagnosis. Ongoing research is crucial to develop effective prevention strategies and enhance treatment outcomes for those affected by TBI and associated conditions.

In a gripping episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke delves into the psychological and moral ramifications of high-profile criminal cases. Dreeke explores the potential for redemption in individuals whose legacies have been tarnished by their actions, using the hypothetical case of a famous figure, referred to as "Diddy," facing severe public and personal downfall. He discusses the psychological strain and suicidal tendencies that might arise in such situations, particularly when a person's legacy is at stake. Dreeke posits that while narcissists rarely commit suicide, the intense pressure and isolation Diddy faces could push him to the brink. Dreeke suggests a path to redemption, where Diddy owns his actions, seeks genuine transformation, and dedicates his life to serving others without any personal gain. This transformation, though unlikely, could potentially shift public perception and inspire others. The conversation touches on the authenticity of such a shift, the pain involved in genuine redemption, and the inspirational impact it could have.
