The latest from Dr. Nora Volkow, NIDA Director: Opioid Use Disorders and Suicide: A Hidden Tragedy (Guest Blog by Dr. Maria Oquendo)
At a Congressional briefing on April 6, the President of the American Psychiatric Association, Dr. Maria Oquendo, presented startling data about the opioid overdose epidemic and the role suicide is playing in many of these deaths. I invited her to write a blog on this important topic. More research needs to be done on this hidden aspect of the crisis, including whether there may be a link between pain and suicide. —Nora (NIDA, 20.04.2017)
