Is shyness related to depression and suicide risk
INTRODUCTION: Suicidal behavior is an important health issue, representing a leading cause of mortality, particularly among young adults. Depression was found to be predictive of suicide risk and predicted by shyness. Consequently, we tested a model wherein shyness leads to depression, which in turn leads to suicide risk. Moreover, we expected gender to moderate the effect of shyness on depression and suicide risk. METHODS: A convenience sample o…
Suicide Risk Among Medical Students Associated With Loneliness, Burnout, and Depressive Symptoms
Medical students face elevated risks of depression and suicide due to rigorous training demands. However, comparative research between medical and non-medical students is limited, hindering understanding of specific risks. This study compared 337 students (89 medical) on suicide risk, depression, perfectionism, burnout, loneliness, and internet addiction. Medical students showed significantly higher suicide risk, depression, perfectionism, burnou…
Implicit or explicit self-associations with life and death? Predicting short-term self-injurious thoughts and behaviors among adolescents
Implicit self-association with death, measured by the Death/Suicide-Implicit Association Test (D/S-IAT), predicts short-term Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors (SITBs) among adolescents. However, comparing the predictive utility of the D/S-IAT with explicit (i.e. self-report) self-association with life and death was not examined previously. The current study sought to examine whether the D/S-IAT and explicit self-association with life and deat…
The pain and relief of grief
Mental pain is a core symptom of bereavement, yet its study with grief pathologies is still scarce. Mental pain acceptance may also affect the associations between mental pain, grief pathologies, and post-loss growth (PLG). The current study aims to investigate the associations between mental pain, mental pain acceptance, and post-loss outcomes in a sample of young widow(er)s. 257 young Israeli widow(er)s completed questionnaires assessing mental…
Examining the relationship between non-suicidal self-injury and mental health among female Arab minority students
These findings provide evidence that the relationship between depression, risky substance use behavior, and NSSI may be stronger among individuals who experience higher levels of identity conflict and acculturation stress. Implications for intervention and future research are briefly presented
Burnout, depression, and suicidal ideation among physicians before and during Covid-19 and the contribution of perfectionism to physicians’ suicidal risk
Physicians in Israel are at increased risk for depression and suicidal ideation, regardless of the COVID-19 pandemic. Maladaptive perfectionism was found to be a risk factor for burnout, depression, and suicidal ideation. During the first waves of the pandemic, physicians were less likely to experience depressive symptoms. However, among physicians who were characterized with high maladaptive perfectionism, depression served as a significant risk…
Depression, Complicated Grief, and Suicide Ideation Following Bereavement During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Many people lost a relative during the COVID-19 pandemic. Such a loss may have deleterious implications due to the circumstances of bereavement during lockdowns and social distancing. This study aimed to explore depressive symptoms, complicated grief, and suicidal ideation in the grieving process among 104 bereaved jewish adults who had lost relatives during the COVID-19 pandemic by completing self-reported questionnaires. The results indicate hi…
The relationship between non-suicidal self-injury, identity conflict, and risky behavior among Druze adolescents
This study's findings clarify the prevalence of NSSI among Druze adolescents, as well as contributing factors, and also highlights the importance of developing interventions that specifically target this unique ethnic group
Non-suicidal Self-Injury Among Adolescents From Diverse Ethnocultural Groups in Israel
These results emphasize the need for routine NSSI assessments to prevent long-term sequelae, including any forms of suicidal thoughts and behaviors and adult borderline personality disorder (BPD). Primary preventive programs that include adaptive coping skills may eliminate the social contagion effect of NSSI
Prolonged exposure to violence
Objective: Little is known about the risk for suicide in those exposed to prolonged political and domestic violence. Thus, this study aims to explore suicidal ideation and attempts in a community sample of Palestinian students and identify the extent to which clinical variables are associated with suicidal ideation. Method: A cross-sectional design was utilized in this study, and 303 college and university students aged 18 to 23 from seven campus…
