In this week’s episode, Tracy speaks to Amy Monea about all things mental health in this episode titled “Farmer Suicide: Let’s Talk About It.”

In this episode, Tracy and Amy discuss:

- What is the difference between mental health and mental illness?
- Amy walks us through different mental health concerns, symptoms and illnesses. She shares about panic attacks, anxiety, depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, suicide ideation, and more.
- Tracy asks Amy “What state of mental health are farmers usually in when they commit suicide…is it usually depression? Can the desire to commit suicide start suddenly or does it creep up on farmers?”
- What are the ways that we can recognize when people are just not ok? 
There is a common fear that if you bring it up to someone, you may offend them or even give them the idea to commit suicide. This is not true. Amy speaks to this.
- What can you say to someone is you are concerned about their mental health or if you are concern that they might be contemplating suicide?
- Now what if it’s ourself. What if we are in a dark place and contemplating if life is worth living…what do you do?
- Is there ways to prevent mental illness? Ways to take care of our mental health?
- If someone is struggling where do you go to get help?

This is an informative and deep conversation about mental health and spotting symptoms of concern in ourselves and others. 

We are a large community but a small community in reality. We need to look out for one another so if you are interested in learning more, you won’t want to miss this episode.
