Health Report on coping with negative emotions:
The latest edition of ABC Radio's Health Report focuses on coping with negative thoughts and emotions, and the differing responses to fear in the brains of men and women.
The programme also discusses research into how well young people can spot the signs of clinical depression and psychosis, an approach to helping people cope with suicidal thoughts, and how depression can affect people through generations.
One highlight is an interview with Dr Simon Bridge, an australian GP with a special interest in mental health, and who has experienced suicidal thoughts himself as a part of his experience with bipolar disorder.
He developed a pamphlet that gives advice on coping with suicidal thoughts which is available online as a PDF.
