Does city life contribute to psychosis?
Is life in the city contributing to psychosis in Denver? A study published this week in JAMA Psychiatry showed urban settings contributed to more acute cases of psychosis than rural areas. “We found that compared with rural neighborhoods, neighborhoods characterized by urbanicity and environmental exposure (i.e., air and noise pollution) were unilaterally associated with more severe psychotic symptoms, but that more severe depression and anxiety symptoms were specific to individuals residing in urban neighborhoods that also had high area deprivation (i.e., poor housing conditions, health outcomes, and socioeconomic disadvantage),” according to the study. “These findings remained significant after controlling for individual-level characteristics such as age, gender, race, ethnicity, education level, and household income.”

Suicide Prevention: Honorable endeavor or impossible mission?
Suicide is a serious subject and I haven't written about it seriously or intellectually for most of my writing career. I've written many poems expressing in various ways the emotions and thoughts of a suicidal person. I've also written some stories in an attempt to shed some light on the matter. However, today's submission isn't about being "suicidal" or dealing with mental illness. In this article, I'd like to discuss mental health in general and the Florida Mental Health Act of 1971 (also known as The Baker Act). I'd also like to share my personal experiences with suicide, crisis stabilization facilities, and my overall opinions about how people should handle this subject. What makes me an expert? Do I have a Doctorate degree in Psychology? No, I majored in English. But I've spent 25 years in and out of the "insane asylums" and on and off prescribed psyche medications. I've been to hospitals in Florida, New York, Illinois, Georgia, and New Jersey. I may not be qualified to prescribe medications, but after 25 years of experience as a diagnosed and treated patient, I feel quite confident in my expertise on the subject.
