Mental health advocates have long criticized the mainstream media for getting it wrong when reporting suicide. These criticisms are based on a historical corpus of research indicating that suicide was frequently reported in an inappropriate manner in the media. Common issues include glorifying or romanticizing suicide and giving excessive detail about the suicide method used. A recent review paper indicates that such coverage could contribute towards 鈥渃opycat suicides.鈥�

Sadly, the time has come to bid adieu to our dear friend Luis. And none too soon, he would have said, with typical irony; for the feeling of having reached the end of his tenure in this world had been with him for some time. He did not appear distressed about it; but one could sense his anguish at the futility of the empty, extremely limited existence he was enduring. 鈥淚 have no health problems, other than this hell,鈥� was his response when I asked him, how he was doing, was he undergoing any tests, was the doctor looking into any new issues?

Congratulations to Dr. Cecilia Flores on her National Institute of Drug Abuse Project Grant!
This 5-year project, entitled, "Amphetamine in adolescence disrupts prefrontal cortex development," aims to study how exposure to stimulant drugs of abuse in adolescence disrupt ongoing brain development, increasing vulnerability to psychiatric disorders using animal models. An important aspect of this research is the large differences in sensitivity to these drug effects that exist between males and females and the protective effects of therapeutic versus recreational doses.
