ZDoggMD Talks Suicide

I was looking to do a Fun Friday post this week and so I went over to see if ZDoggMD had a new parody video I could share with the community. Instead of finding a Fun Friday video, I came across this episode of ZDogg’s Incident Report show and podcast that talks about suicide, mental health, and the new Netflix show called 13 Reasons Why.

No doubt this is just the start of the conversation, but I was really glad to see someone with a platform like ZDoggMD talking about mental health and suicide. Check out the conversation below:

I hope that ZDogg covers this topic more in the future and brings on some experts in the area. It’s a hard topic for him since his shows are usually so full of humor and sarcasm, but it’s ok for him to turn that off for a few shows here and there.

On the video, ZDogg talks about one of my friends that committed suicide in downtown vegas. It was a hard experience for many of us who knew him and had had no idea that he was suffering in silence. I know that many readers of this site have their own stories. Of course, I don’t think I need to mention how many doctors are suffering in silence as well. It’s a tragic thing and hopefully shows like the one above will help us talk about it more and find better solutions and support.
