+ Continued Controversy Leads Netflix to Edit Suicide Scene in 13 Reasons Why
- Description: Shortly before launching the third season of 13 Reasons Why, Netflix has announced that it is removing a scene depicting a graphic teen suicide from the show’s first season. Mental health experts had warned when the show initially launched that the graphic suicide depiction could result in suicide contagion, or “copycat” suicides. Meanwhile, Oregon – a state with above-average suicide rates – has passed a law allowing students to take “mental health days” and be excused as they would for a regular sick day. We talk more on teen mental health with Dr Jim Langley
