1/2 Today, on #WorldSuicidePreventionDay and as a major expansion of community #MentalHealth support across England is announced, we recognise the ongoing efforts across health and care services to support people experiencing mental ill health.

Another theme in our report highlights adversity in patients who were recent migrants. Many face economic issues & lack of social support that may exacerbate risk, a multi-agency care planning is suggested in the clinical pathway #Worldsuicidepreventionday sites.manchester.ac.uk/ncish/report...

In our report, a primary diagnosis of anxiety disorder was a featured theme of patient suicide, 122 deaths per yr. Services need to be alert to the risk, treat co-existing depression & make psychological therapies available. #Worldsuicidepreventionday sites.manchester.ac.uk/ncish/report...

Another theme of our report was older patients (75+ yrs) who died by suicide: depression, physical illness, isolation & bereavement prominent. A low rate of MH service contact suggested a need fr improvement in access to support. #Worldsuicidepreventionday sites.manchester.ac.uk/ncish/report...
