The augmented clinician as a framework for human-AI collaboration in mental healthcare
The global mental health system faces an unprecedented crisis of access, with demand for care far outstripping the supply of trained professionals. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged with immense promise to bridge this gap through scalable and accessible solutions. However, its rapid and often unregulated deployment introduces significant ethical perils, including the dehumanization of care, the perpetuation of societal biases, and the risk…
The imperative for culturally specific suicide prevention models beyond the Western gaze
Suicide remains a critical global public health challenge, with distinct prevalence patterns and risk factors observed across different cultural contexts. While evidence-based prevention strategies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), crisis hotlines, and gatekeeper training, have been developed predominantly in Western settings and have demonstrated efficacy, their application in non-Western populations faces unique cultural hurdles. Thi…
The somatization of structural friction
In the third decade of the 21st century, the mental health landscape of Chinese adolescence has undergone a profound and disturbing transformation. The dominant clinical idiom of distress has shifted from the passive, fatigue-based somatic complaints of "neurasthenia" (shenjing shuairuo) common in the late 20th century, to active, tissue-damaging behaviors, specifically non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). Recent epidemiological data indicates that N…
Reframing adolescent self-harm as a functional continuum
The clinical and research fields have long relied on a dichotomous classification of adolescent self-harm, rigidly separating non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) from suicide attempts (SA) based on intent. While operationally convenient for acute risk assessment, this framework oversimplifies the complex clinical reality of mixed and fluctuating intent and obscures the profound developmental and functional links between these behaviors. This perspect…
Developmental trajectories of depressive symptoms in left-behind children
This longitudinal study aimed to identify developmental trajectories of depressive symptoms among left-behind children during early adolescence (ages 9-14) in China and to examine baseline predictors differentiating stable-low from escalating symptom pathways. Data were drawn from the Psychological Health Guard for Children and Adolescents Project of China, including 72,887 left-behind children from Nanchong, Sichuan, a region characterized by hi…
Depressive symptoms among rural left-behind children and adolescents in China
This study highlights the high prevalence of depression among Chinese rural LBC and identifies key associate factors, including family parenting situation, negative living events and health-related factors. Targeted interventions and policies addressing these factors are needed to promote the mental health of this vulnerable population
Network analysis of emotion regulation and reactivity in adolescents
Difficulties in emotion regulation (DER) and emotion reactivity (ER) are important causes and consequences of psychiatric disorders such as depression and anxiety, and previous research suggests that there are many interactions between them. Understanding the structure of their relationship, and which components may play a key role, will help provide insight into emotion disorders in adolescents and provide guidance for clinical interventions. In…
A network analysis of social problem-solving and anxiety/depression in adolescents
Social problem-solving (SPS) involves the cognitive-behavioral processes through which an individual identifies and copes with everyday problems; it is considered to contribute to anxiety and depression. The Social Problem-Solving Inventory Revised is a popular tool measuring SPS problem orientations and problem-solving styles. Only a negative problem orientation (NPO) is considered strongly related to anxiety and depression. In the present study…
