Suicidal thoughts aren’t a weakness or a character flaw.
They’re a serious sign that someone is struggling, and the brain may be struggling, too.

After looking at 300,000+ brain SPECT scans, Amen Clinics has seen abnormal patterns of blood flow and activity in many people experiencing suicidal thoughts and behaviors, including in areas involved in judgment, impulse control, mood, and emotional regulation.

Brain SPECT imaging does not diagnose suicidality, but it can provide additional information about how the brain is functioning and help uncover factors that may be contributing to someone’s symptoms.

Most importantly, there is hope. The brain can change, people can get better, and asking for help can be the first step toward healing.

Su***de prevention doesn’t end when September does. If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts or is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. If there is immediate danger, call 911.

Drugs and alcohol can affect the brain systems responsible for reward, judgment, impulse control, decision-making, and self-restraint. At Amen Clinics, brain SPECT scans of people struggling with substance abuse often show decreased blood flow and activity and an overall “toxic” pattern.

Brain SPECT imaging can also help clinicians look for co-occurring issues that may be contributing to the cycle of addiction, such as ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, or previous brain injuries.

Treatment is personalized to the individual and may include approaches such as neurofeedback to help support healthier brain function and self-regulation.
The most important part? The brain has the potential to improve. Recovery is possible.

Rhoam Summer was 5.

He was in kindergarten at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon. On October 15, he was killed along with two other children and a teacher.

His family's attorneys say he holds a record no one wants.

They say he is the youngest person ever killed in a school shooting in the United States. The K-12 School Shooting Database, which goes back to 1966, backs that up.

The youngest child at Sandy Hook was 6.

That puts Rhoam's age in perspective. Attorney Tim Williams says the record does not change anything for the families.

He told CNN that 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 makes no difference in substance.

He said no child should experience or worry about violence at school. He said no parent should fear for their child's safety there.

Rhoam's parents asked for something simple.

Kelik and Lillian Summer asked people to draw for him. They say he loved to tell stories about creatures with big teeth who needed understanding and friendship.

His parents say he loved sharks, dinosaurs and unicorns.

They say he wanted to go to a pumpkin patch, learn to ride horses and be a bunny for Halloween.

They have also hired lawyers.

The attorneys say they are investigating whether the shooting could have been prevented. No lawsuit has been filed.

Rhoam was the only child whose name was made public at the family's request.

What would you draw for the youngest child ever lost?
