The Rock & Roll Shrink Radio Show Ep 1 - Musicians and Suicide

Join Dr. Stephen Mathis, a.k.a. "The Rock and Roll Shrink," and co-host/facilitator Casey Shapiro, for a bi-weekly discussion of both mental health and "metal health" topics.

The show will run bi-weekly for an hour. The first half-hour will be Dr. Mathis opining about various mental health topics, interspersed with anecdotes and trivia about classic rock music. The second half-hour of the show, Dr. Mathis will take phone calls from listeners on any matters of mental health or even classic rock topics they may wish to discuss with him!

This first episode topic is Musicians and Suicide, where Dr. Mathis will give his insight into the complex reasons why it seems that rock musicians are so often driven to suicide and self-harm. During the call-in segment, callers and chat room participants are welcome to discuss matters of suicide and self-harm, or related mental health issues. Questions about how to respond to despondent loved ones, resources for help and medical assistance, how to break out of a bout of depression or suicidal despair, and other topics may be covered.
