Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behavior is a common issue in youth with depression while lacks a prognostic prediction model. This study aims to develop a nomogram for NSSI in youth with depression. A total of 701 patients were included in the analysis based a youth depression cohort. They were further divided into a training set and a validation set. The Lasso regression and binary logistic regression were used to select variables for the nomogram. The nomogram's discrimination, calibration, accuracy, clinical applicability, and generalization involved the use of metrics such as the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), Hosmer-Lemeshow (HL) test, Brier score, calibration curve, decision curve analysis (DCA), and internal validation. The Delong test was employed to compare the ROC performance between the two models. These patients had an average age of 19.3+/-3.3 years, and 101 (20.6%) individuals reported NSSI. Five risk factors for NSSI were identified: age, age at first medication, previous instances of NSSI, academic stress score in the Adolescent Self-rating Life Events Check List (ASLEC), and somatic anxiety of the 14 item Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA-14). The training set and validation set of binary logistic regression-based model showed good discrimination (area under the curve (AUC) 0.781, 95% CI: 0.735 ~ 0.827; and 0.757, 95% CI: 0.682 ~ 0.831, respectively), calibration (P = 0.421 and 0.175, respectively), and accuracy (Brier score 0.119 to 0.155 and 0.109 to 0.168, respectively). A prognostic nomogram was developed and validated to assist clinicians in predicting NSSI of youth with depression.

Parental mental health problems can impact child mental health, as well as treatment of child mental health problems. The aim of this study was to investigate self-reported mental health problems in parents of children referred to outpatient child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) and to compare child mental health problems, family variables, treatment received and parent participation in treatment planning between parents above and below the cut-off for elevated mental health problems. The sample included N = 111 parents of N = 98 children. Parental reports covering their own and their children's mental health problems, family functioning, adult relationship satisfaction, and previous treatment for mental health problems were collected at the time of the child's intake appointment. Questions concerning contact with CAMHS were completed one year later. At the time of the intake appointment, 44% of the children had a parent who reported elevated mental health problems. In these families, children reportedly had significantly more mental health problems and problematic family functioning was more common than in families where parent mental health problems were not elevated. Parents with elevated mental health problems received group-based parent support/education to a greater extent during the first year of contact with CAHMS and reported less participation in treatment planning compared to parents without elevated mental health problems. To conclude, findings indicate that co-occurring mental health problems are common in parents when their child is referred to CAMHS, and in these families, it is reported that children have more symptoms, and more families experience problematic functioning. These factors merit consideration in assessment and treatment planning, indicating increased treatment needs in this group of families.
父母的心理健康问题会影响儿童的心理健康以及儿童心理健康问题的治疗。本研究旨在调查儿童和青少年心理健康门诊服务(CAMHS)转诊儿童的父母自我报告的心理健康问题,并比较高于和低于心理健康问题升高临界值的父母的儿童心理健康问题、家庭变量、接受的治疗和父母参与治疗计划的情况。样本包括 N = 111 名家长和 N = 98 名儿童。在儿童就诊时收集了家长的报告,内容包括家长本人及其子女的心理健康问题、家庭功能、成人关系满意度以及之前的心理健康问题治疗情况。有关与儿童心理健康服务机构联系的问题则在一年后完成。在预约入院时,44% 的儿童的父母有严重的心理健康问题。据报告,在这些家庭中,儿童的心理健康问题明显增多,家庭功能出现问题的情况也比父母心理健康问题不严重的家庭更常见。与没有精神健康问题的家长相比,有严重精神健康问题的家长在与 CAHMS 接触的第一年中接受了更多的以小组为基础的家长支持/教育,并报告说参与治疗计划的程度较低。总之,研究结果表明,当孩子被转介到儿童及青少年保健服务机构时,家长普遍会有并发的精神健康问题,据报告,在这些家庭中,孩子有更多的症状,更多的家庭功能出现问题。这些因素值得在评估和治疗计划中加以考虑,表明这类家庭对治疗的需求增加了。

Objective: This study investigated differences in mental health and well-being, risk behaviors, and social life factors among adolescents who experienced different forms of suicidality.
Methods: We examined 18-years-olds in the Danish National Birth Cohort (N = 47,852). Suicidality was defined with mutually exclusive categories ranging from no suicidality, self-reported suicide ideation, plans, and attempt as well as hospital-recorded suicide attempt. The proportion of adolescents with self-reported poor mental health and well-being, risk behaviors, and social life factors were compared across forms of suicidality. Sample weights were applied.
Results: Depressive symptoms were reported by 14% (95% CI 13%;14%) of girls with no suicidality, 44% (95% CI 43%;45%) of girls with suicide ideation, and 68% (95% CI 65%;72%) 66% (95% CI 60%;72%) of girls with self-reported suicide attempt or hospital-recorded suicide attempt respectively. Among boys, depressive symptoms were reported by 5% (95% CI 4%;5%) of those with no suicidality, 27% (95% CI 26%;28%) of those with suicide ideation, and 51% (95% CI 45%;57%) and 40% (95% CI 22%;58%) of those with self-reported suicide attempt or hospital-recorded suicide attempt respectively. Likewise, other aspects of poor mental health and well-being gradually increased relative with more severe forms of suicidality, while no notable differences were identified between adolescents with self-reported and hospital-recorded suicide attempt. Similar tendencies were observed for risk behaviors and social life factors.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that adolescents with suicidality, including the large proportion with suicide ideation only, faces challenges across several parameters of mental health and well-being, risk behavior, and social life factors. This emphasizes the need for community-based interventions to identify and support the large group of adolescents experiencing both more and less severe forms of suicidality. Clinicians should prioritize comprehensive psychiatric intervention to address the complex needs of suicidal adolescents effectively.
研究目的本研究调查了经历过不同形式自杀的青少年在心理健康和幸福感、风险行为和社会生活因素方面的差异:我们调查了丹麦全国出生队列(N = 47,852)中的 18 岁青少年。自杀倾向的定义包括无自杀倾向、自我报告的自杀意念、自杀计划和自杀未遂以及医院记录的自杀未遂等相互排斥的类别。研究人员比较了不同自杀倾向的青少年自我报告的不良心理健康和幸福感、危险行为和社会生活因素的比例。结果显示14%(95% CI 13%;14%)无自杀倾向的女孩、44%(95% CI 43%;45%)有自杀意念的女孩、68%(95% CI 65%;72%)66%(95% CI 60%;72%)有自我报告自杀未遂或医院记录自杀未遂的女孩分别报告了抑郁症状。在男生中,无自杀倾向者占 5%(95% CI 4%;5%),有自杀倾向者占 27%(95% CI 26%;28%),自我报告有自杀企图或医院记录有自杀企图者分别占 51%(95% CI 45%;57%)和 40%(95% CI 22%;58%),有抑郁症状者分别占 5%(95% CI 4%;5%)、27%(95% CI 26%;28%)、51%(95% CI 45%;57%)和 40%(95% CI 22%;58%)。同样,相对于更严重的自杀倾向,其他方面的不良心理健康和幸福感也在逐渐增加,而自我报告有自杀企图的青少年和医院记录有自杀企图的青少年之间并无明显差异。在危险行为和社会生活因素方面也观察到类似的趋势:这些研究结果表明,有自杀倾向的青少年,包括大部分仅有自杀意念的青少年,在心理健康和幸福感、危险行为和社会生活因素等多个方面都面临着挑战。这就强调了以社区为基础的干预措施的必要性,以识别和支持一大批有较严重和较轻微自杀倾向的青少年。临床医生应优先考虑综合精神干预,以有效解决有自杀倾向青少年的复杂需求。

Adolescence increases vulnerability to mental ill-health, particularly anxiety disorders like Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Still, the understanding of Psychological Flexibility/Inflexibility (PF/PI) as a transdiagnostic framework relevant to explaining these difficulties and the efficacy of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in addressing adolescent SAD and GAD remains limited. Hence, this study has two aims: examining the role of PI/PF on adolescents' mental health and assessing ACT's efficacy for adolescent SAD and GAD. We will collect data from 400 community adolescents and employ network analysis to explore connections between PI/PF processes, anxiety, and flourishing. We will also investigate pathways linking PI/PF processes with flourishing and anxiety across samples (clinical SAD, clinical GAD, and mentally healthy groups), expecting to find similar patterns. Furthermore, a Randomized Controlled Trial with three groups (control, SAD experimental and GAD experimental), each comprising 29 participants, and four assessment moments (pre- and post-intervention and 3- and 6-months follow-up) will be conducted. Similar improvements are anticipated in both experimental groups, driven by changes in PI/PF processes. Findings from this work will provide valuable evidence to PI/PF as accurate conceptualizations of human suffering and expand the transdiagnostic application of ACT to adolescents with anxiety disorders.

Stimulant medication is effective in alleviating overall symptom severity of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), yet interindividual variability in treatment response and tolerability still exists. While network analysis has identified differences in ADHD symptom relations, the impact of stimulant medication remains unexplored. Increased understanding of this association could provide valuable insights for optimizing treatment approaches for individuals with ADHD. In this study, we compared and characterized ADHD symptom networks (including 18 ADHD symptoms) between stimulant-treated (n = 348) and untreated (n = 70) individuals with ADHD and non-ADHD controls (NACs; n = 444). Moreover, we compared symptom networks between subgroups defined by their stimulant treatment trajectory (early-and-intense use, late-and-moderate use). Stimulant-treated individuals with ADHD showed stronger associations between symptoms, compared with untreated individuals with ADHD and NACs. We found no differences in symptom networks between the stimulant treatment trajectory subgroups. Prospective longitudinal studies are needed to disentangle whether the identified differences stem from treatment or pre-existing factors.

The attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) clinical phenotype has limitations for deciphering ADHD etiology and predicting prognosis. Although relative to the clinical phenotype, intermediate phenotypes may have better explanatory and prognostic power, the extent to which ADHD intermediate phenotypes are associated with ADHD risk and prognosis is unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate evidence for event-related potential (ERP) measures of reward anticipation as ADHD risk and prognostic biomarkers. We examined, whether (1) in a sample of adolescents (N = 304; Mage = 15.78 years, SD = 1.08; 39.5% female), accounting for the effects of age, sex, ADHD severity and depression, ERPs are associated with ADHD polygenic risk scores (PRSs) (ADHD risk) and (2) in a sample of adolescents at-risk for ADHD (n = 99; Mage = 15.78 years, SD = 1.08; 39.5% female), accounting for the effects of age, sex, ADHD severity, depression, and baseline outcome values, ERPs are associated, prospectively, with alcohol misuse (ADHD prognosis). In adolescents, greater ADHD PRSs were associated with lower electrophysiological anticipatory attention to motivationally relevant feedback (b = -0.115, p = .046 95%CI [-0.228; -0.002]). The predictors accounted for 5% of the variance in the outcome. In adolescents at-risk for ADHD, at 18-month follow-up, lower electrophysiological anticipatory attention to motivationally relevant feedback was associated with greater alcohol consumption (b = -7.454, p = .007, 95%CI [-12.873; -2.034]). The predictors accounted for 31% of the variance in this outcome. These findings were replicated in sensitivity analyses with behavioral performance variables added as covariates. The current findings support the hypothesis that ERP amplitudes of reward anticipation may be ADHD risk and prognostic biomarkers and suggest that intermediate phenotypes may confer advantages over the ADHD clinical phenotype in delineating etiology and predicting prognosis.

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are highly heterogenous in their language abilities. A number of studies have shown neural correlates of language deficits in children with ASD, but the underlying neuroanatomical foundation of early language deficits in ASD remains largely elusive. In this study, we analyzed MRI data from a cohort of Chinese children with ASD (n = 67) and typical development (TD, n = 37) aged 1.5 to 6.5 years. The ASD sample was classified into two subgroups based on the median of the language scores: ASD with moderate language deficits (ASDmoderate, n = 34) and ASD with severe language deficits (ASDsevere, n = 34). We tested the group differences in the brain volumes between TD and two ASD subgroups, and also examined the associations between cortical grey matter volume and language abilities in TD and ASD subgroups, separately. We observed significant group differences in grey matter and white matter volume, with post-hoc analyses specifically indicating significant differences between TD and ASDmoderate subgroup. Significant correlations between grey matter volume and language scores were observed exclusively within the ASDmoderate subgroup, including positive associations in the bilateral superior temporal gyrus, hippocampus, and left inferior parietal lobe, and negative correlations in the bilateral precuneus. These findings provide novel evidence for the neuroanatomical basis related to language ability in an ASD subgroup with moderate language deficits, and offer new insights into the heterogeneity of language deficits in children with ASD.
