After a series of high profile local suicides, KCPT decided to examine the topic more closely. In part two of our series, we take a step back and look at the first symptom so many experience…depression. Kansas City Psychologist Dr. Linda Moore believes one way to prevent suicide is by catching depression early.
Meditation is featured as method for handling stress. Unity Temple, starting March 1st, will have a thirty-minute meditation every day at 12:10 and 5:30 pm, 365 days a year.
The third in our four-part series on suicide and depression continues next week on The Local Show as we ask how you can help someone who is seriously considering suicide.
Schedule for the remaining parts in the series:
Part Three: February 16, 2012 at 7:30 p.m.
Part Four: February 23, 2012 at 7:30 p.m.
The entire series will be presented in a special edition of The Local Show on March 22, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. These segments will rebroadcast numerous times and will also be available online soon after the initial airings.
Here’s a look back at part one:
