Artificial Intelligence is making a significant transformation in human lives. Its application in the medical and healthcare field has been also observed making an impact and improving overall outcomes. There has been a quest for similar processes in mental health due to the lack of observable changes in the areas of suicide prevention. In the last five years, there has been an emerging body of empirical research applying the technology of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in mental health. To review the clinical applicability of the AI/ML-based tools in suicide prevention. The compelling question of predicting suicidality has been the focus of this research. We performed a broad literature search and then identified 36 articles relevant to meet the objectives of this review. We review the available evidence and provide a brief overview of the advances in this field. In the last five years, there has been more evidence supporting the implementation of these algorithms in clinical practice. Its current clinical utility is limited to using electronic health records and could be highly effective in conjunction with existing tools for suicide prevention. Other potential sources of relevant data include smart devices and social network sites. There are some serious questions about data privacy and ethics which need more attention while developing these new modalities in suicide research.

Trauma exposure is common, with more than half of children and adolescents experiencing at least one traumatic event prior to adulthood. Although diagnoses of eating disorders are less prevalent, the majority of adolescents re-port engaging in disordered eating behaviors. The association between childhood trauma exposure and disordered eating behaviors has been well documented in adults, however less is known about this association in adolescents. This review summarizes the literature that exists in the adolescent population. Multiple large-scale studies have demonstrated that adolescents who have been exposed to trauma are more likely to engage in disordered eating behaviors. This association was shown to exist in both sexes, although there appears to be a higher prevalence reported in girls. There does not appear to be significant racial or cultural factors that con-tribute to this association. The experience of sexual trauma, increased trauma severity, and repeat victimization confer an increased risk of engaging in disordered eating behaviors. There are multiple mediators that play a role in the development of disordered eating following a traumatic experience.
