Summary: This study investigates the factors associated with transitioning from recent suicidal ideation to suicide attempts in depressed outpatients. The study followed up on depressed adult outpatients in France for six weeks. Logistic regressions were used to explore the differences between patients with suicidal ideation who attempted suicide and those who did not.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of suicide planning and attempt among individuals with suicidal ideation, as well as their associations with sociodemographic characteristics, mental disorders, adverse childhood events, and prior suicidal behavior. The results showed that the prevalence of suicide planning and attempt were 17.7% and 10.6% respectively, with over 80% occurring within a year of the suicidal ideation. Suicide planning was more likely among those with mood disorders, while suicide attempt was more likely for those who were currently married, had lower educational qualifications, history of anxiety disorders, history of emotional neglect, and parental separation.

Summary: The study in Australia found that social identity and treatment based on sexual orientation can affect the occurrence of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts among LGBQ individuals. Factors such as stable relationships, community belonging, and acceptance in family, work, and health services also play a role in suicidal behavior.

Summary: This systematic review examined the research on suicide, suicide attempts, self-harm, and suicide ideation in nursing and midwifery students. The findings revealed factors associated with suicide and self-harm, as well as potential interventions. However, the overall quality of the studies was moderate to low, highlighting the need for further research on this topic.

Summary: This meta-analysis found that suicidal ideation (SI) and suicide attempt (SA) are common among patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The prevalence of SI and SA in TBI patients was 19.1% and 2.1%, respectively. The prevalence of SA in Asian and non-Asian countries was similar. The publication year and age were positively associated with the pooled prevalence of SI, while the geographical location of the institution, sample size, and age were negatively associated with the pooled prevalence of SA.

Summary: This study compared the use of Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) to treatment as usual (TAU) for individuals discharged from the hospital following a suicide-related crisis. The results showed that CAMS was not more effective than TAU, but participants in the CAMS group experienced a reduction in psychological distress.

Summary: The offspring of mothers who smoked persistently and heavily prenatally and postnatally were at increased risk of suicide attempt in adolescence. Children of mothers with a decreasing smoking pattern did not have an increased risk of suicide attempt. Propensity score cannot account for unmeasured confounding factors, and attrition limits the generalizability of the study findings.

Summary: This study investigated the factors associated with suicidality related to the COVID-19 lockdown in Romanian adults. The results showed a strong correlation between anxiety, depression, and suicidality. However, the impact of internet use and belief in conspiracy theories on suicidality was not significant. Younger age, emotional disturbances, and previous life-threatening attempts were identified as significant predictors for suicidality.

Summary: Suicidality among adolescent patients presenting to a pediatric ER decreased rapidly within 2 months post-discharge and remained low throughout 48 months. Female sex, stressful life events, and BPD impulsiveness were the most predictive factors of persisting suicidality at the 48-month follow-up.

Summary: The study found that there was no significant association between weight and suicidal ideation, planning, or attempts among adolescents in the UAE. However, being female, older, and having lower socioeconomic status were significantly associated with increased suicidal behaviors. Increased parental involvement was associated with decreased suicidality.

Summary: This study used open-source deep learning algorithms to extract measurements of facial, vocal, and movement behaviors from video interviews, comparing them with the severity of suicide risk. The results showed that digital measurements of facial affect, movement, and speech prevalence had strong effect sizes and linear associations with the severity of suicidal ideation.

Summary: The impact of the built environment on mental health is significant, with factors such as connection to nature, personal control, and indoor air quality playing crucial roles. Architectural designs that include urban greenspace, personalized temperature control, and building ventilation can improve occupant mental health. Interdisciplinary research utilizing controlled experiments is needed to confirm causality and further understand the mechanisms underlying the association between the built environment and mental health.

Summary: Melanocortin receptor genes are associated with the risk of major depressive disorder (MDD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study found that MC2R and MC5R genes are associated with MDD, while MC1R, MC2R, MC3R, and MC4R genes are associated with T2D. These findings provide important insights into the role of melanocortin receptor genes in the comorbidity of MDD and T2D.

Summary: Variants of the CRHR2 gene are associated with the risk of depression and type 2 diabetes. This study identified novel risk variants related to depression and type 2 diabetes in 212 Italian families. The findings suggest that CRHR2 plays a stronger role in the risk of depression than in the risk of type 2 diabetes.
