Yet another headline being circulated by well meaning medtwitter accounts which both headlines suicide and provides a simplistic reason for a persons suicide. This is against science-backed media guidelines and should not be shared.
Fortunately, this was also paired with excellent messaging around help & reaching out and the importance of sharing our distress. People dont do this because they want to cause harm, and sometimes in educating I come off as scolding.

I love physicians and physician advocacy.
For example, the same message could be shared by saying "I've just heard tragic news and I wanted to reach out to everyone and say that... [Message of reaching out]."

That might be one way to keep the advocacy without promoting/sharing the guideline-violating article.
