Welcome to The Brain Health Journey Podcast with Brittany and Tish where we talk about all things ADHD and other brain health related topics. On today's episode, Brittany and Tish discuss what is a very difficult topic for many of us. Because this month is Suicide Awareness Month, Brittany and Tish agreed that it was important to talk about the risk of suicide in people with ADHD.
There are multiple resources below that may be of benefit. While this is truly a difficult topic, knowing some of this information could save a life. Towards the bottom, there are also links regarding to substance abuse. Please know that you are loved!
