Wellness Wednesday: 988 crisis line impact, HIV/AIDS research and ADHD in adulthood
A new study found a decline in suicide deaths among young adults since the launch of the national 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. We talk about the crisis line and the study. Then, we hear about how cuts to HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment programs are having worldwide impacts. Plus, ADHD, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, affects 1 in 9 children in the U.S., but it often goes undiagnosed in older adults. We hear from the host of the podcast "Grandma has ADHD."
