Summary: The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of traditional school bullying and cyberbullying among middle and high school students, and analyze the reciprocal associations between bullying involvement and mental health problems. The findings showed that bullying involvement, whether as a victim, perpetrator, or both, was closely associated with anxiety, depression, psychosocial difficulties, and self-harm behavior. Girls were more likely to be affected by mental health issues, and a significant association between bullying victimization and negative mental health outcomes was observed.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the association between bullying victimization (BV) and self-harm, with a particular focus on the mediating role of perceived social support. The results showed a significant association between BV and self-harm, with parental support playing a prominent mediating role. These findings suggest that promoting parental support may be an effective intervention in reducing self-harm risk for victims of bullying.

Summary: This study is the first attempt to investigate the relationship between two forms of bullying victimization and suicidal ideation. The results showed that rumination plays an important mediating role in the relationship between different forms of bullying victimization and suicidal ideation, while the mediating effect of insomnia was not significant in the relationship between traditional bullying victimization and suicidal ideation, but was significant in the relationship between cyberbullying victimization and suicidal ideation. Furthermore, both rumination and insomnia had significant chain mediating effects between different forms of bullying victimization and suicidal ideation.

Summary: This study found a high prevalence of suicidal ideation and attempt among people with epilepsy attending outpatient treatment at primary public hospitals in northwest Ethiopia. Factors associated with suicidal ideation included being female, living alone, having depression and anxiety, being single, divorced or widowed, family history of suicidal attempt, and poor social support. Factors associated with suicidal attempts included depression, living alone, family history of suicide attempt, taking medication for mental illness, and hazardous alcohol use. Early screening, detection, and management of suicide in people with epilepsy are recommended based on the study findings.

Summary: We present the moderating effects of prior suicidal behavior, psychiatric diagnoses, and psychotropic medications on the antisuicidal effects of folic acid. Data from a large cohort of patients were analyzed, showing no significant moderation effects. These findings suggest that folic acid may have a comparable antisuicidal effect in psychiatric populations at higher risk of suicide, and that it could potentially add to the benefits of psychotropic medications.

Summary: This study investigated the association between neurodevelopmental disorders (NDs) and violent victimization in adolescence and young adulthood. The study found that females with NDs and males with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were at a higher risk of violent victimization. Familial factors and externalizing problems may play important roles in this association.

Summary: A recent study suggests a possible association between labor epidural analgesia and increased rates of offspring autism spectrum disorder. However, this cross-national study found no evidence to support the hypothesis that labor epidural analgesia causes either offspring autism spectrum disorder or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, as the associations were fully attenuated when comparing full siblings who were differentially exposed to labor epidural analgesia.

Summary: This study examined the shared genetic and environmental influences on ADHD symptoms and disordered eating. The results showed that both genetic and unique environmental factors contribute to the associations between ADHD and disordered eating. The strongest genetic correlations were found between cognitive/inattention problems and bulimia in girls, and between conduct problems and bulimia, as well as hyperactivity and bulimia in boys. These findings highlight the importance of preventative measures and specialized treatment for ADHD and disordered eating in both genders.

Summary: Understanding the relationship between chronic pain and suicidal behavior is important for suicide prevention. The study found that the association between chronic pain and suicidal behavior may be attributed to unmeasured confounding or pain comorbidity. However, the association was not statistically significant within monozygotic twin pairs, suggesting the presence of familial confounding.

Summary: There is a significant knowledge gap on ADHD in older adults, both in diagnosis and treatment. This article provides a comprehensive review of the literature on the prevalence, functional impairment, and health comorbidities of ADHD across the lifespan. The authors also discuss the diagnostic criteria for ADHD in adults, available screening tools, pharmacological treatment response, and national and international clinical guidelines for ADHD in older adults. Further research is needed to improve diagnostic criteria, conduct epidemiological studies, and assess the efficacy and safety of interventions for ADHD in older adults.

Summary: This review summarizes and interprets the genetic architecture of comorbidities between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other psychiatric disorders and traits. Quantitative genetic studies indicate the substantial role of genetic factors in the co-occurrence of ADHD with various disorders and traits, and molecular genetic correlations from genome-wide association studies provide smaller effect estimates compared to twin studies. The identification of specific genetic variants and biological pathways underlying comorbidity is still in its early stages. Causal inference analyses using genetic data support causal relationships between ADHD and comorbid disorders, but bidirectional effects suggest complex relationships.

Summary: Synaesthesia is a sensory phenomenon where external stimuli trigger additional sensations. It aggregates in families and is associated with the autism spectrum and autistic traits. Individual differences in self-reported synaesthesia are heritable and influenced by genetic factors, while the association with autistic traits is predominantly under genetic influence and mainly driven by non-social traits.
