He is also a full-time comedian and uses his humour and compassion to not only educate others about terms like ‘chronic suicidality’, ‘chronic suicidal ideation’ and ‘generational depression and suicide’ but also to help others who are suffering from the same condition, including those who didn’t realise that is what they had all along.In this podcast Frank talks about his story; what was the tipping point? Why is he still alive? He also explains how on so many occasions his talks have led to more and more people coming forward suffering from a similar problem.If you have been affected by or are suffering with suicidal thoughts, please seek medical help and advice immediately.The Samaritans contact details:https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help/contact-samaritan/Frank also has a new book coming out March 1st 2020.
