Suicide is the leading cause of death in young people in Australia and the largest cause of productive life years lost. To understand how we can prevent suicide and links with sleep we spoke to Prof Ian Hickie of the Brain and Mind Centre at University of Sydney. Ian is also a co-host of the Minding your Mind podcast.
Dr Moira Junge (Health Psychologist) and Dr David Cunnington (Sleep Physician) host the monthly podcast, Sleep Talk - Talking all things sleep.
