‘A Teen’s Life: Looking At Teens Through Their Struggles’ is a book by Uchenna L. Umeh, MD, MBA, FAAP, also known as Dr. Lulu the Momatrician. Her book discusses the stressors faced by teenagers at present and how it interplays with their decisions that might have lasting outcomes, which affects the prevalence of suicide among the youth. Join host Adrian Sinclar and Uchenna L. Umeh as they discuss suicide and shed light as to why it also a life issue and not just a mental issue, what factors influence people to commit suicide, how we can help them.‘What happened?’ That is the question we ought to be asking suicidal people or those suffering from mental anguish and despair that may lead them to commit suicide. Asking them ‘why’ has a judgmental tone to it, like when we ask them why they attempted suicide, or why they were bullied, or why were they molested. It’s a question that doesn’t open a door for a suicidal person to engage in a conversation because it makes them hesitant to speak up, thinking that if they say something people would judge them. And that’s the thing.Most people have this perception that when a person is suicidal, they are labeled as ‘crazy,’ or that ‘they do not have enough faith in God,’ or that they are ‘sinful’ and ‘will end up in hell.’ Because of that alienation, suicidal people are left on their own until it is too late for any intervention. But if we ask them ‘what happened’ instead, we are being compassionate. By asking that question, we are giving them a message, an assurance that we are here to listen and to talk; that there is someone who is there for them, that they are not alone. In our podcast with Dr. Uchenna L. Umeh, author of the book ‘A Teen’s Life: Looking at teens’ life through their struggles,’ she shared that there are two simple ways to help prevent people from committing suicide. The first is to tune in with ourselves, our family, our friends, and other people.If we do, then we’ll notice their body language and allow them to talk, which is the second one. Uchenna defined ‘talk’ as the following: 1.) T - Tell someone that you don’t feel good; 2.) A - Allow people to help you; 3.) L – Love yourself into wanting to get better; and 4.) K – Knowledge and Kindness. Educate yourself about what’s going on and how did you get here, and be kind to yourself. Kindness is the most important trait any human can have. Depression, anxiety, and other forms of mental illness are commonly associated with suicide. But not all those who suffer from or are diagnosed with mental illnesses or disorders are the only ones who commit.Many happen to be victims of bullying, discrimination and racism, domestic violence, financial loss, and sexual violence, among many others. On the topic of bullying, Uchenna shared that studies showed that girls have a higher rate of suicidal behaviors, tendencies, or thought processes. However, boys have a higher rate of suicide completion and that is really heartbreaking. Worse still, some victims of bullying also become bullies themselves, and that the rate of suicide and incarceration among them is high. But why does bullying continue? Bystanders. Uchenna pointed out that because we chose to be bystanders - not associating ourselves, for example, with the victims because either it doesn’t affect you or you fear retribution from those oppressing the victim - is the reason why bullying proliferates. And it’s not just restricted in schools.Bullying also happens at home, at the office, or even from your community. We must understand that suicide isn’t just a mental issue – it’s a life issue. And that is what Uchenna pointed out in our podcast; that there is more to suicide than just depression or any mental disorder one may be suffering from. Apodcast.com - Listen, Learn, and Share. Click the follow button on the podcast page to get more content from us.
