Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) increases the risk of suicidal ideation in adolescents due to social, emotional, and sensory challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and sensory regulation interventions offer comprehensive solutions by addressing cognitive, emotional, and sensory issues. Integrating CBT and sensory regulation reduces suicidal risk and improves mental well-being in ASD adolescents.

Schools are important agencies for preventive and promotive mental health interventions for children. However, In India, school mental health programmes are limited, first, in their coverage of sexuality and personal safety topics, and second, in responding to children’s emergent health and social concerns. We worked in 162 government schools, reaching 21,234 children over 20 months. Sessions on gender, sexuality and personal safety were delivered to children in grades 6–10th. Discussions encouraged several children to share difficult experiences or health/social concerns. Forty-four children disclosed sexual abuse. To address health, care and protection and legal needs, we coordinated an inter-sectoral response involving school, child protection system, and police. We found that law and policy provisions were inadequately implemented in schools. Despite their crucial, complementary roles, schools, police, and child protection systems, faced systemic challenges that spanned inadequate skills, absent inter-sectoral mechanisms and coordination, lack of long-term approach in addressing health, and care and protection needs. Given the unique roles and challenges for each sector, an inter-sectoral framework is critical in organizing adequate, long-term assistance to children in distress. Schools need to play a central coordinating role, actively liaising with other sectors, especially familiarity with child protection systems among students and teachers.

Catatonia is a rare but life-threatening condition characterized by a constellation of psychomotor disturbances. The most widely used treatments of catatonia include benzodiazepines and electroconvulsive therapy. Despite the widespread use of benzodiazepines and the high response rate of catatonia to ECT, there are instances where catatonia does not respond to first-line treatments. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in managing catatonia.
Methods
A systematic literature search was conducted on the following databases: Medline, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, PsycINFO and ClinicalTrials.gov for registered but not yet published studies.
Results
Out of 244 initially identified articles, there remained eight case reports and 1 case series eligible after screening. Of the twelve total cases, nine showed clinical improvement. However, there was significant heterogeneity in the complexity of the clinical situation, the severity of clinical features of catatonia, underlying causes, and rTMS treatment protocols between studies.
Conclusion
The results of this study are inconclusive. However, rTMS might be trialed for the management of catatonia when first-line treatment options fail, are unavailable, or need to be used with caution. Our review incorporating the most up to date evidence highlights the need for more extensive, standardized, randomized clinical trials to investigate the efficacy of rTMS for treating catatonia.
