People living with a schizophrenia spectrum illness are around 10x more likely to die by suicide than the general population. This video explores why that could be, and my own experience with it.

*If you are in distress, or are having thoughts of suicide or of self harm in any way, please please please REACH OUT. Go to your nearest emergency room department, call your doctor/psychiatrist if you are in contact with one, your therapist if you have one, or a mental health crisis line in your area. There is help available to keep you safe until you are in a more safe state of mind. Your life matters.*
