1. Are We Missing the Real Cause of Suicide? | Ep. 35 (AI) Kevin R Strauss 24:03

In this episode of Question It., with its *Trigger Warning*, we use Google’s Notebook LM to review how a friend’s suicide impacted me and why Emotional Health—not Mental Health—could be the critical link society is missing. I reflect on the deeper emotional struggles that often go unnoticed and how our ability to give and receive love, connection, and
belonging plays a crucial role in our well-being. By questioning conventional narratives around mental health, we explore how shifting the focus to Emotional Health could lead to real, lasting change.

Key Takeaway: Emotional Health—the ability to give and receive love, connection, and belonging—may be the missing link in preventing suicide and other destructive behaviors that society often mislabels as mental health issues.

Peace. Love. Connect.
