Cutting into the Mirror: Association of Body Image Concerns with Non-Suicidal Self-Injury in Adolescents and Young Adults with Eating Disorders
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a transdiagnostic behavior often found in patients with eating disorders (EDs). Both conditions plateau in adolescence and share psychopathological traits. Our study focuses on body image concerns, a complex psychopathological construct associated with both NSSI and ED, as a shared risk factor between the two. This study included 73 participants aged 14–24 recruited from the Eating Disorders Day Hospital, Univer…
Assessing Clinical Features of Adolescents Suffering from Depression Who Engage in Non-Suicidal Self-Injury
Depressive disorders (DDs) and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) are important juvenile mental health issues, showing alarming increasing rates. They frequently co-occur, mainly among adolescents, increasing the suicide risk. We aimed to compare the clinical features of two groups of adolescents with DDs, differed by their engagement or not in NSSI ("DD + NSSI" and "DD"). We hypothesized that NSSI would characterize particularly severe forms of DDs…
Sex Differences in Autism Spectrum Disorder: Focus on High Functioning Children and Adolescents
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has historically been studied, known, and diagnosed in males. Females tend to remain unidentified, especially those with average intelligence abilities. This sex/gender difference might be partially explained by biological risk factors, but it is probably also bound to methodological issues. The present study aims to examine phenotypic characteristics (cognitive, emotive, socio-communicative, and academic) of a grou…
Glucose Metabolism, Thyroid Function, and Prolactin Level in Adolescent Patients With First Episode of Schizophrenia and Affective Disorders
Schizophrenia and affective spectrum disorders (ASD) typically begin in adolescence or early adulthood. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these disorders are still not fully understood, and recent studies have suggested an involvement of dysfunctions in cardiometabolic and neuroendocrine systems at the onset of both disorders. In this context, we aimed to assess thyroid function, prolactin level, glucose metabolism, and lipid profile i…
Sex-Gender Comparisons in Comorbidities of Children and Adolescents With High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder
Over the last few years, new studies focused their attention on the gender-related features in high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFA), often leading to controversial results. Another interesting aspect of these subtype of patients is linked to the complexity of clinical presentation, where besides core symptoms, other co-occurrence disorders may complicate the diagnostic evaluation. Therefore, we retrospectively studied 159 HFA patients,…
