Exploring parent-child relationships in a Swedish child and adolescent psychiatry - cohort of adolescents with internet gaming disorder
Parent-child relationships, in particular adolescent information management to parents, plays an important role for the level of IGD-symptoms in a clinical sample of adolescents. We suggest that therapeutic interventions for IGD should integrate family-focused strategies, such as parent training programs fostering open communication between parents and their children
Who seeks treatment for gaming? Characteristics of young and adult patients seeking treatment for gaming disorder
These findings suggest that impaired everyday functioning is a defining clinical feature of this group. Treatment should not only address gaming behavior but also support patients in improving functioning across important areas of life, such as school, work, and relationships
Adolescents’ experiences of psychological treatment for gaming disorder
These findings suggest that effective treatment for gaming disorder should address the broader psychosocial context in which gaming occurs. Patients do not always view gaming as their primary problem, and clinicians should be cautious about framing it as such. Instead, gaming should be explored in connection with other life difficulties. It is helpful when clinicians demonstrate knowledge about gaming and avoid coming across as critical of the ga…
Adolescent Psychedelic Use and Mental Health Is Associated with User Personality
It is still unknown how current trends in psychedelic use among adolescents are related to mental health. This study reports on the prevalence of psychedelic use in a Swedish representative nationwide drug survey and its association with mental health outcomes and user personality. A cross-sectional study using data from the latest 2024 Swedish Council for Information on Alcohol and Other Drugs (CAN) school survey was conducted ( N = 10,288 in 9t…
Unveiling Psychedelics
In the midst of growing research and societal discourse on psychedelic substances, a consistent finding is reported: A majority of users report profound personal meaning from their experiences. This pioneering study in Sweden, a nation renowned for its strict drug policies, sought to quantify the extent of reported meaningfulness among Swedish psychedelic users. Results revealed that a majority of the sample, 58%, ranked their psychedelic experie…
Stepped Care Versus Stratified Care for Youth with Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders are common in children and adolescents, but access to evidence-based treatment is limited. Most clinical guidelines recommend stratified care, where less complex patients are offered low intensity interventions and complex patients more intensive options. Stepped care, where all patients initially receive low-intensity treatment, has gained traction due to its potential cost-effectiveness. Research on care models for youth with …
Prevalence of Sexual and Gender Minorities in a Swedish Adolescent Community Population
This study examined the prevalence, stability, and fluidity of sexual orientation as well as the prevalence of gender discontent. From a community sample (i.e., all adolescents of the age cohort were invited), this study analyzed data from 1513 adolescents (50.5% females), who replied to questions about sexual attraction on at least one of three occasions (age 14: n = 623; age 15: n = 1322; and age 17: n = 949). Sexual orientation was operational…
Sexual Orientation and Personality Dimensions Measured by the Junior Temperament and Character Inventory among Adolescents
Research on adolescent sexual orientation has expanded in recent decades, yet little is known about its associations with personality traits during this developmental period. This study examined personality dimensions, as measured by the Junior Temperament and Character Inventory, across adolescent sexual orientation groups (asexual, homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual) in a community-based sample of Swedish adolescents ( N = 1195). Significant di…
Big Five personality and the psychedelic experience
A surge in societal and scientific discussion surrounds psychedelic research. One surprising fact keeps standing out: Many users report the psychedelic experience as a positive and lasting impact on their quality of life. The present study aimed to explore the quality and consequences of the most impacting psychedelic experience, with the user's Big Five personality in focus. This experienced sample (N = 400) rated how challenging and mystical th…
Adolescent gaming and parent–child emotional closeness
The aim of this study was to add knowledge of the longitudinal associations between gaming and emotional closeness between parents and their children. We hypothesized that parent–child emotional closeness was linked to less gaming activity over time and that more gaming activity was linked to less parent–child emotional closeness over time. We also tested the moderating effect of child gender on these anticipated links. This study involved a samp…
Concussion history associated with adolescent psychological distress but not hazardous gambling
Self-reporting three or more concussions was associated with increased current psychological distress beyond the acute phase of injury among high school students. Adolescents who have sustained multiple concussions should undergo mental health evaluations beyond the acute phase of injury to identify and treat psychological distress, but probing for hazardous gambling may not be clinically relevant in this previously concussed adolescent populatio…
Rise in Gender Dysphoria Diagnoses and Legal Gender Changes in Sweden
Autism Spectrum Disorders in forensic psychiatric investigations–patterns of comorbidity and criminality
Our results highlight the importance of all parts of the CJS to be prepared to handle offenders with ASD, often with high levels of additional psychiatric problems. Traditional approaches in treatment or other psychosocial interventions for ASD may need to be adapted to at least three general clinical profiles- one with mainly neurodevelopmental problems, one with a spectrum of externalizing problems and one with complex personality related diffi…

Game Addiction Scale for Adolescents—Psychometric Analyses of Gaming Behavior, Gender Differences and ADHD
Guided by psychometric analyses, the GASA could be strengthened by advancing the questionnaire design and by adding complementary items in order to illuminate the complexity of gaming behavior. Our findings suggest that additional research on potential gender related discrepancies of disordered gaming is needed
