Tony has been referred to a mental health provider to assess for depression. Tony shows a mental health provider assessing Tony for depression and suicidality. The provider must find a way to get beyond female--oriented ways of asking about depression to help Tony talk about his feelings. Adolescent males often do not endorse sadness, depression, crying, or hopelessness. They may experience frustration, anxiety, irritability, and anger, and may have somatic concerns. Asking about these symptoms often provides a pathway for boys to talk more about their feelings, or to at least indicate their level of distress. Being able to assess adolescent boys for depression and suicidality is vital, given the rate of completed suicides among males.

Charles Edmund Cullen is a former nurse who is the most prolific serial killer in New Jersey history and is suspected to be the most prolific serial killer in American history. He confessed to authorities that he killed up to 40 patients during the course of his 16-year nursing career. But in subsequent interviews with police, psychiatric professionals, and journalists Charles Graeber and Steve Kroft, it became clear that he had killed many more, whom he could not specifically remember by name, though he could often remember details of their case. Experts have estimated that Charles Cullen may ultimately be responsible for over 300 deaths, which would make him the most prolific serial killer in American history. Charles Cullen was to look after the sickest of the sick. People recovering from burns and life-threatening illnesses. But he betrayed their trust in the most egregious way imaginable murdering his patients.
