Description: In this quick video, double board certified child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr Dom Sportelli uncovers what you need to hear about suicide prevention. Knowing what to do when someone has suicidal tendencies can make all the difference. Especially because the signs of suicidal tendencies may be easy to miss: it is almost never as straightforward as "I want to die." If you have feelings of depression or are contemplating suicide, please contact the suicide hotline number in your country: Suicide Hotlines: America: 1-800-273-TALK (8255) Canada: 1-866-531-2600 Australia: 13 11 14 United Kingdom: +44 (0) 8457 90 90 90 Beijing: 0800-810-1117 Hong Kong: +852 28 960 000 Japan/Tokyo: 81 (0) 3 5286 9090 Brazil: 55 11 31514109 or (91) 3223-0074 Mexico: 9453777 Germany: 0800 111 0 111 Russia: (495) 625 3101 India: 91-22-27546669 Iran: 1480 South Africa: 0800 12 13 14 Remember that you're not alone.
