Season premier. In 2007, suicide was the tenth-leading cause of death in the U.S., but it can be prevented if you know the warning signs. Our panel of experts have insight for anyone struggling with suicidal thoughts – from teens to the elderly and military veterans. A Spokane woman shares her battle with depression and suicidal thoughts.
As always, you are encouraged to participate — with questions phoned in during the telecast or e-mailed before-hand. Send your e-mail anytime to healthmatters@ksps.org and join in the conversation. Your questions may be answered ‘live’ on the air.
