Post Lockdown Suicide Tsunami that never came

As we near the third anniversary of COVID-19, international suicide statistics reveal that the suicide epidemic that was widely predicted to ensue after the lockdown never happened.

Understanding how these predictions failed reveals the limitations of mental health modeling, challenges our assumptions about suicidality, and begs the question, “why wasn’t there a suicide epidemic?” A viewpoint article recently published in the Australian & New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry offers some answers.

The Australian authors, Nick Glozier, Richard Morris, and Stefanie Schurer, quote Nobel prize-winning economist Daniel Kahneman:

“People cannot be faulted for failing to predict the unpredictable, but they can be blamed for lack of predictive humility.”

Difference Between Narcissist & a Pleaser

“If your emotional foundation is shaky to start with because there never was any support or nurturing, it becomes tougher to face new challenges, and this often leads to retraumatization through recurring experiences.” Roland

A total and complete sham

Between 1987 and 2007, the number of people receiving treatment for depression in the United States increased fourfold (and has continued to rise more gradually since). However, the prevalence of depression either stayed the same—or may have even increased—during that time. Researchers call this the “treatment-prevalence paradox” (TPP).

Now, in a new study, researchers review the seven possible explanations for this—and the evidence for and against each one. The study was led by Johan Ormel at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, and published in Clinical Psychology Review.

Ormel and his co-authors explain:

“The increased availability of effective treatments should shorten depressive episodes, reduce relapses, and curtail recurrences. Combined, these treatment advances unequivocally should result in lower point-prevalence estimates of depression. Have these reductions occurred? The empirical answer clearly is NO.”

Despite More Treatments for Depression, Prevalence Doesn’t Decrease—Why?

Tuesday Teachings

It is mind blowing to watch our narcissistic family members avoid the obvious and easily escape taking any accountability. It doesn’t matter how many times you try and pin the tail on the donkey, it will not stick to our toxic family members.

The more the truth is pointed out to them, the more defensive they get, the more they try and stick the blame somewhere else. In some way this is gold for you. The defensiveness you experience in your narcissistic family members is as close to an admission of wrongdoing as you will get.

The reason everything makes them defensive is because they are never operating in their integrity. If you can see this for what it is, it will help you to laugh, disengage and move on from these wasteful conversations.
