Copycat Suicide

Copycat suicide (also known as the Werther Effect or suicide contagion) refers to an increase in suicide attempts and completions following exposure to a suicide either through the media or in a personal circle. The suicide of a well-known celebrity has been shown to be correlated with a rise in suicide attempts, an effect that was seen following the death of actor Robin Williams.

Helping Give Away Psychological Science

A suicide contagion effect was sparked with the release of the TV show 13 Reasons Why in 2017. HGAPS (Helping Give Away Psychological Science) has several pages regarding the mental health implications of the TV show. For more information, see below:
