Reviewing ABC short series “Changing Minds”, my review is the documentary is better than nothing, as behind scenes post narration fails to provide explanations on why patients are causing themselves to be hospitalised. Attending professionals are seen attending patients yet rarely explaining problem issues. Myself remembering only one occasion does a psychology physician describe how a patient is chemically imbalanced, thereafter failing to describe what was meant by chemically imbalanced.

On August 23, 2017, 'The Drum' provided approximately 12 minutes of discussion related to teenage suicide and self-harm. Discussion is more awareness, mentioning parents reluctance to discuss suicide with their children, worried parents will “plant an idea” of suicide on their children.
Blaming “social media amplifies” as a problem, soon takes over panel discussion. Primary school aged 11 to 15 boys self-harm awareness: primary school bullying; being gay… suggested solutions: “suck it up”; focus parent awareness attention on starting the conversation with their children.
No psychology practician were panellists or were any psychology theories mentioned. Panellists were: one communication title, remaining panellists were unqualified to comment journalists. Collected released statics were the bases of early discussions.

Monday morning August 28, 8AM, ABC News Breakfast: began with an aged 3 years-old girl shooting death “shot dead”, “not my baby girl” together with several minutes of described tragic details, an eye witness description; Sydney shooting; Victorian aged 17 teenager shot; US flooding confirmed 2 dead, blamed on Harvey; 2 stabbings on the Gold Coast; more than 100 people killed in Myanmar violence; German woman dies, Barcelona toll rises to 16... headlines eventually get to Bavarian town holding ox races every four years. Under that heading story “Qld police investigate two stabbings on Gold Coast”.
ABC broadcasters are well-aware school aged children/teenagers watch ABC morning programs before heading off to school.
Media: violence; drug raids; suicide; self-harm; depression... Shakespearian deprived of all knowledge murder story distractions.
Discussion: ban all memory-bending-suggestive media murder/violence news stories before 9AM.
