Summary: Nearly 800,000 people die by suicide each year, with 77% occurring in low- and middle-income countries. Suicide is underestimated in many African settings due to challenges in data collection, stigma, and policies that promote silence. There is a clear paucity of research in suicide interventions in Africa, and researchers should seek to develop or adapt evidence-based, culturally-resonant interventions to reduce the burden of suicide on the African continent.

Summary: The study investigated the association between experiencing parental emigration in childhood and hospital presentations for self-poisoning in adulthood. The results showed no statistical evidence of an increased risk of self-poisoning in individuals who experienced parental emigration during childhood. Further research using longitudinal data is needed to understand any potential lasting effects.

Summary: This study investigated the 1-year incidence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB) among first-year students from 13 universities in Mexico, along with a wide range of predictive factors and the accuracy of prediction models. The results showed that factors such as gender, relationship issues, mental health problems, etc., were associated with STB. Targeting the top 10% of students at highest risk for intervention could reduce STB rates by up to 36% in the subsequent year.

Summary: This study investigates the association between income inequality and hospitalizations of despair. The results show significant associations between income inequality and hospitalizations of despair, drug overdose-related hospitalizations, and all-cause hospitalizations. These findings are important for policy discussions on reducing income inequality and identifying potential interventions for the prevention of drug overdose, alcohol-related liver disease, and suicide attempts/self-harm.

Summary: Through questionnaires, it was found that self-recognition of voice disorder (SRVD) is closely related to mental health status, including psychological stress, depressive symptoms, and suicidal ideation. The study also revealed that long-term SRVD is associated with more pronounced psychological stress, depressive symptoms, and suicidal ideation. These findings highlight the significant connection between voice and emotions.

Summary: Suicidal ideation is a central element in theories of suicide and distinguishes suicide from other causes of death. However, most research has focused on completed suicide and suicide attempts, while less attention has been given to those who experience ideation. This study aims to examine the characteristics of individuals presenting to emergency departments (EDs) with suicidal ideation and quantify the associated risk of suicide and other causes of death.

Summary: Despite concerns about increasing trends in depression over the past two decades, little is known about recent trends in depression and mental health treatment among older adults and whether these trends differ by demographic characteristics. The estimated prevalence of past-year major depressive episode (MDE) among older adults increased from 2.0% to 3.2% from 2010/11 to 2018/19, with significant increases detected among certain demographic groups. However, there were no significant changes in any form of past-year mental health treatment among those with MDE.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on individuals with eating disorders, leading to worsening symptoms, increased anxiety and depression, and changes in body mass index (BMI). This systematic review provides important insights into the effects of COVID-19 on the physical and mental health of individuals with eating disorders.

Summary: This study compared the utility of MBI-C and NPI-Q in capturing non-cognitive symptoms in patients with subjective cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment, and dementia. The results showed that both MBI-C and NPI-Q were effective in characterizing these symptoms, and MBI-C was able to capture non-cognitive symptoms across different cognitive stages.

The study also observed a decrease in non-ED hospitalizations during the same period. This is the first Canadian study to confirm the impact of the pandemic on children and adolescents with AN.

Summary: This study explored the impact of the videoconference-based supportive care program (SPIN-CHAT program) on individuals with systemic sclerosis (SSc) during early COVID-19. Interviews with trial participants and research team members revealed that the program had positive effects on psychological health, provided SSc-specific support, created a safe space for group interaction, reduced boredom, and offered self-management skills.

Summary: This study evaluated how optimal cutoff thresholds are selected in depression screening tool studies. The results showed that most studies attempted to identify an optimal cutoff, but the methods used were heterogeneous and lacked a rationale. Additionally, a majority of the studies selected non-standard cutoffs and had limited recommendations and reporting guidelines.

Summary: There is growing evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic has had significant negative effects on the mental health of adolescents. A study in Australia found that over 50% of participants reported depressive symptoms, and one-quarter reported anxiety symptoms during the pandemic. Adolescents with a history of mental health problems, school disengagement, and frequent peer victimization were at higher risk of experiencing mental health issues during the pandemic. Therefore, it is crucial for schools to prioritize the mental health and well-being of students, particularly during times of social disruption like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Summary: This study examines the impact of multiple sclerosis (MS) on productivity loss and employment status. Using baseline data from the Canadian Prospective Cohort Study to Understand Progression in Multiple Sclerosis (CanProCo), the study measures MS-related productivity loss and investigates associated factors. The findings show that both employed and unemployed individuals with MS experience significant productivity loss, and modifiable factors such as disease-modifying therapies, fatigue, and cognitive processing speed impact productivity loss and employment status. Targeting these factors is likely to improve work productivity and permanence of MS patients in the workforce.

Summary: Personality traits of parents in young adulthood, well before the conception of their offspring, are associated with various parental resources and attributes during pregnancy and postpartum, as well as with infant biobehavioural characteristics. The effect sizes range from small to moderate when considering parents' personality traits as continuous exposures, and from small to large when considering them as binary exposures. These findings highlight the importance of parental personality in early life development and its potential long-term impact on a child's health and development.

Summary: This study compared the prevalence of pain and the association between pain and pain interference, as well as social participation, in different subtypes of multiple sclerosis. The results showed that pain was common among all participants, with no differences between subtypes. However, individuals with progressive multiple sclerosis reported higher pain interference and lower social participation compared to those with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
