World suicide prevention day September 10, 2013

Today September 10 is world suicide prevention day!

Every year, almost one million people die from suicide; a "global" mortality rate of 16 per 100,000, or one death every 40 seconds.

In the last 45 years suicide rates have increased by 60% worldwide. Suicide is among the three leading causes of death among those aged 15-44 years in some countries, and the second leading cause of death in the 10-24 years age group; these figures do not include suicide attempts which are up to 20 times more frequent than completed suicide.

Suicide worldwide is estimated to represent 1.8% of the total global burden of disease in 1998, and 2.4% in countries with market and former socialist economies in 2020.

Although traditionally suicide rates have been highest among the male elderly, rates among young people have been increasing to such an extent that they are now the group at highest risk in a third of countries, in both developed and developing countries.

Mental disorders (particularly depression and alcohol use disorders) are a major risk factor for suicide in Europe and North America; however, in Asian countries impulsiveness plays an important role. Suicide is complex with psychological, social, biological, cultural and environmental factors involved.

In the field of psychology there is currently a massive gap between what is being taught, applied and propagated, and the new solutions available for mental disorders. In order to see the answers you seek, you must first ask the right questions! Why is not as important as HOW!

The survival instinct has three hierarchical threat levels it has been programmed to be aware of; 1) the Soul, 2) the Body, and 3) the Mind. With the highest level of threat being, when the SOUL is in danger. There is only one way anyone ca...

Dustin MacDonald - Trolling Nu-Rekall® and International Suicide Prevention nonprofit

The Psychopath If you haven’t met a psychopath yet eventually you will, as they make up about 4% of the world population. Again, people are not born this way! People become psychopathic through learned behavior. A psychopath is created through a conditioned process that can be one or all inclusive; visual, physical, verbal or mental abuse. Recently, after becoming more public with my findings in treating mental illness, and promoting Nu-Rekall® systems, I attracted the attention of a psychopathic individual, but there is a more modern term for the psychopath today, ‘Internet Troll’. If you are in the business of psychology for any period of time you will eventually attract a psychopath. I normally would just ignore this individual but, he has made some outrageous claims utilizing his vivid imagination to fill in gaps in my published work to draw attention to him in an attempt to appear more intelligent than he is (one of the goals of a psychopath). ...
