This lecture will present 20 common psychological traits that put persons at risk for suicide, such as lack of friends. You will learn suggestions for how to work on these traits in counseling, if you have a score in the clinical range, e.g. no friends that you see often. You will learn the steps in a simple "secular prayer" to review your day and plan a good one for tomorrow. You will briefly notice ten or so common problem areas that put persons at risk for violence and/or other forms of crimes, including fraud, and learn that the majority of dentists experience fraud in their professional careers. You will learn that most people often feel bored after just 20 minutes of lecture on any topic, including talk about dentistry, and the pleasure of taking a break from listening to chat with a couple of other folks about a lecture "taste".
Learning Objectives:
Understand how to make little changes in personal habits to reduce one's risk of suicide
