A 1-hour seminar by Dr. Leslie Ellis
Suicide is a leading cause of death worldwide, especially among young people. We are not getting better at treating or predicting it. What is not well-known is that there is a robust and treatable link between nightmares and suicide.
This seminar will cover the following:
- clear evidence linking nightmare frequency and suicide risk, a survey of the latest research
- the main clinical considerations, including how to track disturbed dreaming to better predict suicide
- mechanisms linking suicide and nightmares
- recommendations for treatment that can reduce self-harm
