The Office of the Provincial Health Officer South Cotabato joins the observance of World Su***de Prevention Day 2026. 💜

This World Su***de Prevention Day, let’s change the narrative on su***de by creating spaces where people feel safe to speak, heard without judgment, and supported when they need help.

A simple conversation, a listening ear, a kind gesture, or reaching out can make a difference. Let’s remind one another that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Talk about it. Listen without judgment. Reach out. Support each other. Seek professional help.

💜 You are not alone.
Together, let’s build communities where every person knows they matter, their voice matters, and support is always within reach.

September is Su***de Prevention Month. After being a Psychiatrist for over 40 years, it's clear to me that suicidal thoughts and brains work differently.

Amen Clinics has scanned hundreds of patients who have attempted su***de and many more who have thought about taking their own life. The SPECT scans of these patients revealed abnormalities in the brain, especially in these areas: 
* Temporal Lobes: Brain SPECT imaging shows that people with suicidal thoughts and su***de attempts often have abnormalities in the left temporal lobe. In an Amen Clinics study, we saw left temporal lobe problems in 62 percent of our patients who had serious suicidal thoughts or behaviors. 
* Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): After reviewing nearly 300,000 functional brain scans related to behavior it is clear that head injuries are a leading cause of mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety disorders, panic disorder, PTSD, ADHD/ADD, substance abuse, psychosis, borderline and antisocial personality disorders, dementia, and aggression. Concussions and TBIs also increase the risk of su***de. When the brain has functional damage due to a head injury, it’s critical to heal the brain in order to overcome any mental health problems. At Amen Clinics, 40 percent of our patients have had a significant brain injury.
* Prefrontal Cortex: A large-scale study by researchers at Portland State University found that about 22 percent of people who died by su***de were legally intoxicated at the time of their death. Brain scans show that alcohol lowers function in the prefrontal cortex, a brain region involved in impulse control, judgment, and decision-making.
* Anterior Cingulate Gyrus: People with overactivity in this area of the brain tend to get stuck on negative thoughts, which is one of the traits we see in people with suicidal thoughts and behavior.

Filters are a marketing trick to make ci******es seem less dangerous. Smoking kills, with or without a filter.

They make it easier to start smoking & harder to quit.

Filters have even contributed to a rise in an aggressive type of lung cancer.

Let’s unmask the appeal & call for a ban on filters.
