Exploring the correlation between suicide and homicide rates with percentage of gentrification and by sex
Our results show that in Mexico City, the gentrification percentage is negatively correlated with suicide rates, but it is not correlated with homicide rates. This suggests that gentrification could be linked to the prevention of suicide especially in women. However, further studies are needed to achieve conclusive results
Current Status of Mental Health in Mexico City
There is limited information on the prevalence of mental health symptoms among the population of Mexico City. To provide an update and determine the prevalence of symptoms associated with various disorders in the city, a modified version of the "Screener Questionnaire" was used, the same instrument employed in the National Survey on Drug, Alcohol, and Tobacco Use (ENCODAT) 2016-2017. Data were collected at PILARES centers in different boroughs of…

Cortisol levels are increased in individuals who attempt suicide and higher of cortisol concentrations in plasma regard to depression and more attempts of suicide
Clozapine Long-Term Treatment Might Reduce Epigenetic Age Through Hypomethylation of Longevity Regulatory Pathways Genes
Long-term studies have shown significantly lower mortality rates in patients with continuous clozapine (CLZ) treatment than other antipsychotics. We aimed to evaluate epigenetic age and DNA methylome differences between CLZ-treated patients and those without psychopharmacological treatment. The DNA methylome was analyzed using the Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip in 31 CLZ-treated patients with psychotic disorders and 56 patients with psychiatri…
High Serum Levels of IL-6 Are Associated with Suicide Attempt but Not with High Lethality Suicide Attempts

Cannabis Use in People With Obsessive-Compulsive Symptomatology
Recent studies suggest that the endocannabinoid system could play an important role in the physiopathology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). There are reports of effective treatment with derivatives of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The study of the genetic factor associated with psychiatric disorders has made possible an exploration of its contribution to the pharmacological response. However, very little is known about the genetic factor or …

Decreased Quality of Life in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Is Associated with Emotional Distress
Background : individuals with type 2 diabetes show emotional distress as they learn how to cope with the disease. The emotional distress increases the possibility of complications in these patients. The aims of the present study were to evaluate the impact of the emotional distress in the quality of life of individuals with diabetes, and to investigate the demographic and clinical characteristics associated with the emotional distress of living w…
Increase in Suicide Rates by Hanging in the Population of Tabasco, Mexico between 2003 and 2012
Hanging was found to be the most common choice of suicide in the Mexican population, probably because the materials required are easily available and the method does not require complicated techniques, especially in the 55-64 age group. Strategies for prevention and intervention should be developed for the Mexican population considering suicide rates by age group and gender
