Substance use disorder (SUD) treatment providers well know that many of their young patients are also suidical. So they are interested in the research on the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why , which dramatizes a book of the same name in which a girl who committed suicide leaves a tape giving the 13 reasons why she did. The research shows that the program's release is correlated with an increase in what is known as “copycat” suicides and suicidal behavior.
