<h3>Background</h3>Family dynamics are implicated in self-harm and suicidality among children and adolescents. However, whether negative family dynamics confer a prospective risk and positive family dynamics confer a protective effect is not understood. To address this research gap, we aimed to summarise the prospective, longitudinal evidence examining the relationship between family dynamics, self-harm, and suicidality (ie, suicidal thoughts and behaviours) during childhood and adolescence.<h3>Methods</h3>In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, and ERIC, as well as CINAHL, without language restrictions, from the date of database inception to May 20, 2025. Observational studies were eligible if they prospectively followed up a cohort of children and adolescents (age <20 years) from a general population, community, or school showing either no elevated risk or typical development of self-harm and suicidality for a minimum of 12 months. Eligible studies had to have included prospectively measured family dynamics, including positive (eg, emotionally supportive) and negative (eg, harsh, aversive, or punitive) parenting behaviours and family functioning (eg, family cohesion) or dysfunction (eg, discord or conflict) in childhood or adolescence. Extracted data consisted of study-level information and characteristics, participant characteristics, descriptions of study measures, and study results. Extracted data were entered into Covidence for consensus. The primary outcomes were self-harm (ie, thoughts of non-suicidal self-harm or self-injury, and non-suicidal self-harm or self-injury) and suicidality (ie, suicidal ideation and suicide attempt) over any reporting period. We examined individual and combined outcomes using a random-effects model. We assessed study quality using a modified Newcastle–Ottawa scale. This study is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023434804).<h3>Findings</h3>We screened 3860 articles and retained 38 studies, of which all 38 contributed to the narrative synthesis and 24 to the quantitative analyses. Altogether, the studies comprised 101 879 children and adolescents. Most study samples were from the USA (12 [32%]) or China (11 [29%]), with exposure and outcome ascertainment 12 months apart (25 [66%] studies) from age 10 years to 19 years (36 [95%]). Data stratified by sex, gender, race, or ethnicity were not consistently available. Female participants constituted a larger proportion of the samples than did male participants (ranges 42–100% <em>vs</em> 28–58%). Exposure to negative parenting was associated with an increased likelihood of combined self-harm and suicidal ideation (OR 1·29 [95% CI 1·15–1·46]) and non-suicidal self-harm or self-injury (1·46 [1·25–1·71]), but not suicidal ideation (1·07 [0·92–1·24]). Negative parenting practices and continuously measured self-harm and suicidality were not significantly associated. Positive parenting practices were not associated with suicidal

Background
The physical health disparities experienced by people who live with mental illness are well documented. This population group has cardiometabolic risks and diseases at rates 1·4–2·0 times higher than people without mental illness, and physical health conditions are responsible for 70% of the deaths of people with severe mental illness. They are the major drivers of the 13–15 year reduction in life expectancy that is found in individuals with mental illness, compared with those without mental
Conclusion
Mental health services need to prioritise evidence-based lifestyle interventions to generate systemic health benefits for people living with mental illness. The growing recognition of the need for lifestyle interventions in mental health care in national and international guidelines and from leading organisations such as the World Psychiatric Association creates an opportune time for change. Our Commission report provides recommendations for the implementation and delivery of lifestyle

<h3>Background</h3>The prevalence of depression and anxiety in young adults is rising, leading to an increasing need for evidence-based treatment. Psychological therapies are a first-line treatment for these conditions and are broadly preferred to pharmacotherapies, particularly by young adults. There is some evidence that younger people might have poorer outcomes from psychological therapies than adults over the age of 25 years, but research has been confined to smaller studies or has not considered the role of statistical confounding, as well as the potential interaction between age and gender. This study uses data from a national psychological treatment programme to investigate differences in outcomes between young adults (age 16–24 years) and working age adults (age 25–65 years).<h3>Methods</h3>We used data from all individuals who had an episode of treatment in any English National Health Service Talking Therapies for anxiety and depression (TTad) service between April 1, 2015, and March 31, 2019. We compared change in Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item (PHQ-9) score and Generalised Anxiety Disorder Scale 7-item (GAD-7) score pre-treatment to post-treatment between patients who were aged 16–24 years and those aged 25–65 years, as well as service-specific outcomes including recovery, reliable recovery, reliable improvement, and reliable deterioration. Age was also treated as a continuous variable in linear regression models examining change in depression and anxiety symptom severity scores. We examined geographical and temporal consistency as sensitivity analyses. People with lived experience were involved in the study design and interpretation.<h3>Findings</h3>The young adult cohort contained 309 758 patients aged 16–24 years (214 977 [69·4%] female and 93 728 [30·3%] male; 255 547 [82·5%] of White ethnicity; mean age 20·8 years [SD 2·3]). The working age adult group comprised 1 290 130 patients aged 25–65 years (840 631 [65·2%] female and 445 466 [34·5%] male; 1 078 985 [83·6%] of White ethnicity; mean age 41·5 years [SD 11·1]). We observed that improvements in PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores were smaller for young adults compared to working age adults (PHQ-9: b –0·98 [95% CI –1·00 to –0·96]; GAD-7: b –0·77 [–0·80 to –0·75]). Young adults were less likely to meet criteria for reliable improvement (odds ratio 0·78 [95% CI 0·77–0·78]), recovery 0·73 (0·73–0·74), and reliable recovery (0·74 [0·73–0·74]), and more likely to meet criteria for reliable deterioration 1·19 (1·17–1·20). Sensitivity analyses revealed consistency of the age-related treatment effect when differences in temporal, geographical, and adults older than 65 years, were considered.<h3>Interpretation</h3>Outcomes following routinely delivered psychological treatments across all areas of England were poorer in young adults than working age adults. These effects, when scaled up to the population level, affect thousands of young adults annually. Future research should consider adaptions t
背景:年轻人中抑郁和焦虑的患病率正在上升,导致对循证治疗的需求日益增加。心理治疗是治疗这些疾病的一线治疗方法,与药物治疗相比,心理治疗更受年轻人的青睐。有证据表明,年轻人接受心理治疗的效果可能不如25岁以上的成年人,但研究仅限于规模较小的研究,或者没有考虑到统计混杂的作用,以及年龄和性别之间潜在的相互作用。本研究使用来自国家心理治疗项目的数据来调查年轻人(16-24岁)和工作年龄成年人(25-65岁)之间结果的差异。方法:我们使用了2015年4月1日至2019年3月31日期间在任何英国国家卫生服务焦虑和抑郁谈话疗法(TTad)服务中接受过治疗的所有个体的数据。我们比较了16-24岁和25-65岁患者治疗前后患者健康问卷9项(PHQ-9)评分和广泛性焦虑障碍量表7项(GAD-7)评分的变化,以及服务特定结果,包括恢复、可靠恢复、可靠改善和可靠恶化。在检验抑郁和焦虑症状严重程度评分变化的线性回归模型中,年龄也被视为连续变量。我们检验了地理和时间的一致性作为敏感性分析。有生活经验的人参与了研究的设计和解释。青壮年队列包括309758例16-24岁的患者,其中女性21477例(69.4%),男性93728例(30.3%);白人255,547例[82.5%];平均年龄20.8岁[SD 2.3])。工作年龄成年组25 ~ 65岁患者1 290 130例,其中女性840 631例(65.2%),男性445 466例(34.5%);白种人1 078 985例[83.6%];平均年龄41.5岁[SD 11.1])。我们观察到,与工作年龄的成年人相比,年轻人的PHQ-9和GAD-7评分的改善较小(PHQ-9: b - 0.98 [95% CI - 1.00至- 0.96];GAD-7: b - 0.77[- 0.80 ~ - 0.75])。年轻人不太可能达到可靠改善(比值比0.78 [95% CI 0.77 - 0.78])、恢复(比值比0.73 - 0.74)和可靠恢复(比值比0.74[0.73 - 0.74])的标准,而更可能达到可靠恶化(比值比1.19(比值比1.17 - 1.20)的标准。敏感性分析显示,当考虑到时间、地理和年龄大于65岁的成年人的差异时,与年龄相关的治疗效果是一致的。解释:在英格兰所有地区,年轻人接受常规心理治疗的结果比工作年龄的成年人要差。当这些影响扩大到人口水平时,每年影响成千上万的年轻人。未来的研究应该考虑适应适合年轻人的治疗,包括年轻人如何驾驭成人心理健康服务。资助英国国家健康和护理研究所。

People with lived experience were involved in the study design and interpretation.<h3>Findings</h3>The young adult cohort contained 309 758 patients aged 16–24 years (214 977 [69·4%] female and 93 728 [30·3%] male; 255 547 [82·5%] of White ethnicity; mean age 20·8 years [SD 2·3]). The working age adult group comprised 1 290 130 patients aged 25–65 years (840 631 [65·2%] female and 445 466 [34·5%] male; 1 078 985 [83·6%] of White ethnicity; mean age 41·5 years [SD 11·1]). We observed that improvements in PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores were smaller for young adults compared to working age adults (PHQ-9: b –0·98 [95% CI –1·00 to –0·96]; GAD-7: b –0·77 [–0·80 to –0·75]). Young adults were less likely to meet criteria for reliable improvement (odds ratio 0·78 [95% CI 0·77–0·78]), recovery 0·73 (0·73–0·74), and reliable recovery (0·74 [0·73–0·74]), and more likely to meet criteria for reliable deterioration 1·19 (1·17–1·20). Sensitivity analyses revealed consistency of the age-related treatment effect when differences in temporal, geographical, and adults older than 65 years, were considered.<h3>Interpretation</h3>Outcomes following routinely delivered psychological treatments across all areas of England were poorer in young adults than working age adults. These effects, when scaled up to the population level, affect thousands of young adults annually.

<h3>Background</h3>Auditory verbal hallucinations are a major burden for patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorder and are often resistant to pharmacological and psychotherapeutic interventions. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the temporo-parietal cortex has been proposed as a treatment for persistent auditory verbal hallucinations. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of bilateral continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS), a brief and efficient form of rTMS, in adults with auditory verbal hallucinations versus sham cTBS.<h3>Methods</h3>This multicentre, randomised, sham-controlled, triple-blind phase 3 clinical trial was conducted at seven German psychiatric university hospitals and followed a planned two-stage adaptive design. Eligible patients were aged 18–65 years, had experienced persistent auditory verbal hallucinations at least once per week for a minimum of 3 months, and scored 3 points or higher on item P3 (hallucinatory behaviour) of the clinician-rated Positive Scale of the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). 138 adults with treatment-persistent auditory verbal hallucinations and schizophrenia spectrum disorder were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive 15 sessions of active (n=70) or sham cTBS (n=68) administered sequentially as 600 pulses to the left and 600 pulses to the right temporo-parietal cortex over a 3-week period. The primary outcome was the change in the auditory hallucinations subscale of the Psychotic Symptom Rating Scales (PSYRATS-AH) from baseline to the end of treatment at 3 weeks, analysed in the intention-to-treat population, which included all randomly assigned patients who received at least one stimulation session. Safety was assessed in all patients who received at least one stimulation session. Follow-up assessments were performed at 1, 3, and 6 months after the end of treatment.
