Here is a "health care" check mark distributing misinformation on pediatric suicides freely and carelessly.

I am also attaching the graphic representation of the "astronomical spike" in pediatric suicides.

Btw, Kati, "commit suicide" is antiquated language please update.

More graphic evidence of the "astronomical spike" in peds suicide in the past year. 🙄

10-14y suicides 1999-2020. Lower in 2020 than 2018 and not significantly different from 2019.

Here is the thread where I break down pediatric suicides in 2020, fully establishing that what Kati said was misinformation.

Kati, if you feel attacked, pause. You have a check mark next to your name and people will trust you. You casually shared misinformation without any knowledge whatsoever counter to our available evidence.

You have a responsibility with that check mark especially when you flex your credentials around it. This moment should give you pause and you should recognize instantly that you extended yourself into an area in which you had no information and spread lies.

I am not attacking you. I am rightly criticizing you for a careless action on your part. The next move is for you to apologize and to, from this point forward, share the correct information about pediatric suicides.

You are welcome for this education. No bill.

It is very hard work as a suicideologist who cares very much about pediatric suicides to overcome the misinformation that is being spread. Please help me in this regard and don't hinder me. If you care about pediatric suicides, do not carelessly use them in your argumentation.

I can spell suicidologist. Promise.
