In the United States, the statistics around suicide are both shocking and highlight the mental distress facing our population. According to the American Association of Sociology, 45% of individuals who die by suicide visit their primary care physician within a month of their death, with 20% visiting within just 24 hours. Among the elderly, this number rises, with nearly half of suicide victims seeing their doctor within the last week of their life. These numbers are not just statistics but a blaring wake-up call to the medical community, specifically primary healthcare providers.

In a recent article by ABC News, startling statistics shed light on the pressing issue of mental health in the United States. According to a survey conducted by West Health and Gallup, a staggering three in four Americans feel that mental health takes a back seat to physical health.
