#57 Suicide - Myths, Muslims & Mental Health | Prof Rory O’Connor | World Expert on Suicide Research

  • Resumen

  • *NOTE - This episode discusses suicide. If you are affected by suicide or are worried about someone, please see the links at the end of these show notes* Muslims die by suicide too. This may be an uncomfortable reality for many within religious communities but is an important issue for us to discuss. Research suggests that discussing suicide does not make it more likely but may actually help people get the right support. My guest is Professor Rory O’Connor, a Professor of Health Psychology at the University of Glasgow who has been working on suicide research for over 25 years. As the head of the Suicidal Behaviour Research Laboratory at the University of Glasgow, President of the International Association for Suicide Prevention, and Past President of the International Academy of Suicide Research, Professor Rory brings a wealth of knowledge to the conversation. As well as contributing to BBC documentaries on the subject, his award-winning book “When it is darkest: Why people die by suicide and what we can do to prevent it” addresses the common questions, myths and misunderstandings surrounding suicide. In this interview, Professor Rory not only shares leading research on the topic but also opens up about his personal experiences of losing people to suicide. This episode aims to foster understanding, dispel myths, and encourage dialogue around a critical issue affecting communities worldwide. In this episode, we discuss: How to talk about suicideWhy Rory wrote the bookPatterns of suicide throughout our lifetimeSuicide in menImportance of sleepUnderstanding deliberate self-harm and suicideCoping with the loss of a loved oneThe unpredictability of griefWhy people die by suicide – the Integrated Motivational-Volitional (IMV) modelAdvice if you have suicidal thoughtsSocial media and news guidelinesFaith, religiosity and suicideSuicide in Muslim countries and around the worldIs suicide preventable?Helping those who are suicidalWhat are the signs someone may be suicidal?Developing a safety planA Muslim parent’s story of losing his child by suicide USEFUL LINKS - Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/muslimcentric - Professor Rory O’Connor https://twitter.com/suicideresearch https://suicideresearch.info/ https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/healthwellbeing/staff/roryoconnor/ https://www.instagram.com/oconnor_roryc Trustee & Podcast Host, MQ Mental Health Research https://www.mqmentalhealth.org/category/mq-open-mind-podcast/ President, International Association for Suicide Prevention https://www.iasp.info/our_team/rory-oconnor/ Past President, International Academy for Suicide Research https://suicide-research.org/ - Book When it is darkest: Why people die by suicide and what we can do to prevent it Professor Rory O’Connor https://amzn.eu/d/deKVide - Article A Muslim parent’s story of losing his child by suicide https://inayatscorner.wordpress.com/2021/07/15/goodbye-to-my-dear-son-adam-salih/ https://inayatscorner.wordpress.com/2022/07/06/my-son-adam-suicide-one-year-on/ SUPPORT US If you benefited from The MuslimCentric Podcast, please subscribe, leave a review, comment and rating.
