TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Youth suicide: a population crying for help? A system overloaded? Who can help? JO - Missouri medicine A1 - Shankar, Ravi A1 - El Kady, Rasha A1 - Aggarwal, Arpit SP - 370 EP - 374 VL - 117 IS - 4 N2 - Suicide is the second leading cause of death in young adults (15-24 years old). There continues to be limited access to mental health services for many patients who are in mental health crisis because of shortage of trained psychiatrist and mental health providers. Patients identified with high risk factors should get a full comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. Management should focus on preventative strategies, early identification as well as treatment with appropriate psychopharmacology and psychotherapy.
