Writer and philosophy professor Clancy Martin has attempted to end his own life more than ten times. Now, he has written a candid, frank, and hopeful book exploring his own experience with suicidal desires, and examining suicide through the perspective of writers and philosophers throughout the centuries. The book also provides valuable resources and advice for anyone struggling. We speak with Martin to kick off our series, Mental Health Mondays, as part of our Mental Health Awareness Month coverage.
