You can talk online or contact the U.S. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255) at any time if you or someone you know may be experiencing suicidal thoughts. When calling 741741, those in need of support can also receive free, 24/7, private support via text message via Crisis Text Line. 

Underneath the Dr. Disrespect persona, which is all about Speed, Violence, and Momentum and can occasionally lead to outlandish conduct, is a former developer named Guy Beahm. Dr. Disrespect is the kind of person who gets kicked off of Call of Duty: Warzone 2, whereas Beahm offers insightful commentary on game development, engages with his fans, and supports his community (who, in turn, have supported him). Dr. Disrespect is more than just a mustache and a pair of sunglasses, as demonstrated by a recent donation. 

During a recent stream, a US Marine gave $10 to Dr. Disrespect and reported that a comrade and fellow Marine had died by suicide. The viewer continued by saying that he and his friend like watching Dr. Disrespect's streams and that, even though the Doc is unaware of it, people often find comfort in them during difficult times. The Marine concluded by saying Semper Fidelis, which is the motto of the Marines and means "Always Faithful." Doc stutters while trying to say Fidelis, but it's obvious by the expression on his face that he's trying not to lose it. Even with the shades on, Doc's body language makes it obvious that the message has truly hit him. 

I'm sorry to hear that, Dr. Disrespect begins, pausing for a while before stating, "I'm sure your friend's still watching." It's a touching answer to a tragic circumstance, and as Redditor Jasonclark2 noted, it's frequently obvious how sincere donations like these cause Doc's demeanor to shift. It's quite depressing to watch Doc struggle to control his feelings and respond in a way that his community frequently finds proper. There isn't always a proper way to react in situations like this, but maybe Doc's comments may make watching his videos a moment when the friend can feel connected to his fallen comrade rather than being devastated by it. 

According to research released in September 2022, the number of veteran suicides was twice as high as the federal numbers, or more like 44 US veterans each day. According to Military Times, the goal of this study is to "increase public dialogue on the problem of veteran suicide prevention" by pursuing more precise tracking techniques and access to such data.
