Hello, all. A big content warning for this episode, the first question deals with suicide and has a bit more detail than other questions I've answered on the show. It's a very worthwhile question and a great topic to discuss, but I just want to make you aware of that.

Here are the topics covered in this Q&A episode:

• I saw my elderly father kill himself and I am so angry at him. What can I do?
• My friend stopped medication for anxiety and depression, but she is thinking about starting again. What else can she do to help herself out?
