My guest today was Amy Kiel who shared her incredible story of Depression, Fibromyalgia and her own suicide attempt.
Amy still lives with Depression, Fibromyalgia, but she no longer wants to take her own life.
Instead, she is now an Advocate for Suicide Prevention!!
Are You Depressed? Do You Suffer with Chronic Pain or Illness? Have YOU thought about making it all go away..permanently?
Did you know, people with Depression and/or Chronic Pain or Illness are at more risk for suicide attempts and death by suicide?
Did you know:
In the United States alone;
*A person dies by suicide about every 16 minutes. An attempt is estimated to be made once every minute.
*Every day approximately 80 Americans take their own life, and 1,500 more attempt to do so.
*Over 32, 000 people in the US die by suicide every year.
*Over 60% of all people who die by suicide suffer from major depression.
*About 15% of the population will suffer from clinical depression at some time during their lifetime. 30% of all them will attempt suicide, and half of them will ultimately die by suicide.
