Patreon Sample: Blue Light & Suicide Prevention

from The Broken Brain

WARNING this episode is about suicide, although it is not graphic. This is the first 7 minutes of this week's dive into mental health history for the Patreon members. In 2003 subway companies around the world installed blue LED lights in their terminals, based on the belief that it has a calming influence, and will discourage suicidal individuals from attempting to jump onto the tracks. But is the research really there ot justify this choice? And is it enough? This week's dive into mental health history is all about these questions. Remember this month's highlighted charity: www.munchausensyndrome.com. Also everyone is invited to watch or join the 5 hour live-stream event on Thursday 8/29.
