The podcast episodes highlight the increased risk of suicide associated with untreated or unrecognized mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.

For example, the episode Identifying Depression and Anxiety in Teens with ADHD discusses the importance of recognizing and addressing depression and anxiety in teenagers with ADHD, as untreated conditions can lead to a higher risk of suicide.

Similarly, the episode Psychotic Depression with Dr. Cummings emphasizes the higher suicide rate associated with psychotic depression, underscoring the need for proper diagnosis and treatment of this often underreported and undertreated aspect of depression.

The episode The Science & Treatment of Bipolar Disorder also repeatedly highlights the seriousness of bipolar disorder and its association with a high risk of suicide, reinforcing the importance of appropriate treatment and intervention.
