  • Effectiveness of an add-on brief group behavioral activation treatment for depression in psychiatric care

    Open AccessRiikka Haakana, Tom Rosenström et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2024

    In this randomized trial, the effectiveness of treatments with the added BA and PS groups did not exceed that of TAU alone. The preconditions in which brief BA or PS group interventions benefit outpatients with depression in psychiatric settings warrant critical investigation

  • Health-related quality of life-based definition of remission from depression among primary care patients

    Open AccessKirsi Riihimäki, Harri Sintonen et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    Depressive primary care patients' HRQoL reaches the normal variation range of the general population when their depression and anxiety scores reach the conventional clinical cut-offs for remission

  • Borderline Personality Disorder With Depression Confers Significant Risk of Suicidal Behavior in Mood Disorder Patients—A Comparative Study

    Open AccessJohn J Söderholm, J Lumikukka Socada et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020

    Among patients with major depressive episodes, diagnosis of bipolar disorder, or presence of comorbid borderline personality features both imply remarkably high risk of suicide attempts. Risk factors for suicidal ideation and suicidal acts overlap, but may not be identical. The estimated severity of borderline personality features seems to associate with history of suicidal behavior and current severity of suicidal ideation in dose-dependent fash…

  • Do Suicide Attempts of Mood Disorder Patients Directly Increase the Risk for a Reattempt

    Open AccessKari Aaltonen, Tom Rosenström et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020

    Background: Preceding suicide attempts strongly predict future suicidal acts. However, whether attempting suicide per se increases the risk remains undetermined. We longitudinally investigated among patients with mood disorders whether after a suicide attempt future attempts occur during milder depressive states, indicating a possible lowered threshold for acting. Methods: We used 5-year follow-up data from 581 patients of the Jorvi Bipolar Study…

    Open AccessTom Rosenström, Pekka Jylhä et al.ARTICLEEvolution and Human Behavior2015

  • Living alone and antidepressant medication use

    Open AccessLaura Pulkki-Råback, Mika Kivimäki et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    These data suggest that people living alone may be at increased risk of developing mental health problems. The public health value is in recognizing that people who live alone are more likely to have material and psychosocial problems that may contribute to excess mental health problems in this population group

  • Completed Suicide After a Suicide Attempt

    Kirsi Suominen, Erkki Isometsä et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Psychiatry2004

    OBJECTIVE: Attempted suicide is the strongest known predictor of completed suicide. However, suicide risk declines over time after an attempt, and it is unclear how long the risk persists. Risk estimates are almost exclusively based on studies of less than 10 years of follow-up. METHOD: The authors followed a cohort of 100 consecutive self-poisoned patients in Helsinki in 1963, for whom forensically classified causes of death during the following…
