Temporal dynamics of shame and guilt in adolescent NSSI
In adolescents who engage in NSSI, shame and guilt co-occur with episodes of elevated urges rather than predict them over short periods. Shame appears more involved in the aftermath of NSSI, consistent with a maintenance process, whereas guilt tracked urges to a similar extent but did not change post-NSSI. Clinically, spikes in both shame and guilt may serve as actionable real-time markers, and post-episode support targeting self-criticism and an…
Chronic stress and post-traumatic stress in long Covid
Long COVID (LC) is a prevalent condition among SARS-CoV-2 infections. Yet, in-depth research on adverse stress responses in LC remains limited. The primary aim of this study was to investigate chronic stress and post-traumatic stress due to the COVID-19 pandemic specifically experienced in LC, as both have been suggested to interplay with the manifestation of LC. Using data from N =549 participants in an online survey ( n female =349, n male =199…
Narrative analysis of interviews conducted with African unaccompanied refugee minors
Background: Unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs) are a particularly vulnerable subgroup of refugees, frequently exhibiting high levels of distress and a wide range of trauma-related symptoms. They are at risk of poor mental health outcomes such as developing complex posttraumatic stress disorder, an emergent mental disorder associated with re-experiencing, hyperarousal, and avoidance of trauma-related stimuli. Methods: We conducted a qualitative a…
Effects of a Whole-School Prevention Program Targeting Mental Health and Nonsuicidal Self-Injury in Swedish Adolescents
Rising rates of mental health problems and nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) among adolescents highlight the need for preventive interventions and the lack of evidence regarding such measures. To date, few studies have investigated school-based prevention programs targeting NSSI. In this study, a whole-school preventive intervention was carried out at Swedish lower secondary schools and evaluated in a cluster-randomized controlled trial. The whole-s…
Coping styles mediating the relationship between perceived chronic stress and conspiracy beliefs about Covid-19
As a global health crisis, COVID-19 has led to a rise in overall stress levels. Concurrently, conspiracy beliefs regarding the origin and spread of the disease have become widespread. Engaging in such beliefs can be explained as a form of coping in order to deal with elevated levels of stress. The present study investigated the indirect effects of coping strategies in the association between perceived chronic stress and COVID-related conspiracy b…
E-learning as a tool of suicide prevention training
Intranasal esketamine as therapeutic option
Depression is among the most common mental health disorders worldwide and treatment resistant depression (TRD) represents a major challenge for both patients and clinicians. In recent years ketamine has received attention as an antidepressant agent, demonstrating promising results in TRD in adults. To date, few attempts have been made in treating adolescent TRD with ketamine and none have used intranasal application. This paper discusses a case o…
The association of childhood abuse and neglect with tattoos and piercings in the population
The results corroborate previous research indicating that body modifications could have special significance for individuals who have survived adversity, in particular interpersonal trauma at the hands of caregivers. These findings could inform screening procedures and low-threshold access to psychotherapeutic care
Brain Stimulation for Emotion Regulation in Adolescents With Psychiatric Disorders
The study is ongoing and has been registered in the German Registry of Clinical Trials (DRKS-ID: DRKS00025601X) on the 28.06.2021
Radical Acceptance of Reality
Although the sample size is small, and conclusions are drawn from Inductive Qualitative Content Analysis, the presented results are of interest. In our investigation, video-group-calls were both safe and beneficial for patients. This alternative to physical meetings is not only interesting for further waves of the current pandemic but also for service provision in remote areas with limited access to specialized care. Further research is needed to…
Health Behaviors in Austrian Apprentices and School Students during the Covid-19 Pandemic
These findings support the argument that education type is an important factor for health behaviors, but this is also mediated by gender. Appropriate interventions for adolescents are needed to prevent adverse health behavior changes following the COVID-19 pandemic
Suicide trends in the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic
Repeated Sessions of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Adolescents With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Background: Social-emotional difficulties are a core symptom of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Accordingly, individuals with ASD have problems with social cognition such as recognizing emotions from other peoples' faces. Various results from functional magnetic resonance imaging and electroencephalography studies as well as eye-tracking data reveal a neurophysiological basis of these deficits by linking them to abnormal brain activity. Thus, an …
Mental Health of Apprentices during the Covid-19 Pandemic in Austria and the Effect of Gender, Migration Background, and Work Situation
This study assessed the mental health of apprentices during the COVID-19 pandemic in Austria and the effect of gender, migration background, work situation, and work sector. An online survey via REDCap was performed with a sample of 1442 apprentices (female: 53.5%, male: 45.4%, diverse: 1.1%, migration background: 28.4%) from 29 March to 18 May 2021. Indicators of mental health were depression (PHQ-9), anxiety (GAD-7), well-being (WHO-5), disorde…
Smartphone Apps Are Cool, But Do They Help Me?”
Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a major mental health problem associated with negative psychosocial outcomes and it most often starts in early adolescence. Despite this, adolescents are rarely involved in informing the development of interventions designed to address their mental health problems. This study aimed to (1) assess adolescents' needs and preferences about future interventions that are delivered through smartphones and (2) develop a …

Psychosocial risk factors for suicidality in children and adolescents
Suicidality in childhood and adolescence is of increasing concern. The aim of this paper was to review the published literature identifying key psychosocial risk factors for suicidality in the paediatric population. A systematic two-step search was carried out following the PRISMA statement guidelines, using the terms ‘suicidality, suicide, and self-harm’ combined with terms ‘infant, child, adolescent’ according to the US National Library of Medi…
Challenges and burden of the Coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic for child and adolescent mental health
I just finally wanted to belong somewhere”—Qualitative Analysis of Experiences With Posting Pictures of Self-Injury on Instagram
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a common phenomenon among adolescents, but is often not disclosed due to fear of stigmatization. Social media is frequently used to publish photos of NSSI and share experiences with NSSI. Objectives of this study were to find out more about the motivation for publishing NSSI content and to investigate the effect that sharing this content on social media has on young people. In the current study, we interviewed N…
Emergency Presentations to Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
Nonsuicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) and suicidality are common reasons for emergency presentations in child and adolescent psychiatry. Therefore, we focused on reasons for emergency presentations as well as specific characteristics of those presenting with NSSI or suicidality to an emergeny psychiatric service. We analyzed data from a German university hospital regarding emergency presentations during a 78 months' period. NSSI and suicidality were rat…
Parental dysfunctional posttraumatic cognitions in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy for children and adolescents
TF-CBT helped participating parents to challenge their dysfunctional PTCs related to their child's trauma. The change in parental PTCs only mediated their perception of their child's PTSS but not their child's self-perception or the clinical evaluation of their child's PTSS.

Neural Correlates of Social Inclusion in Borderline Personality Disorder
Humans engage in social interactions and have a fundamental need and motivation to establish and maintain social connections. Neuroimaging studies particularly focused on the neural substrates of social exclusion in healthy subjects (HC), borderline personality disorder (BPD), and major depression (MD). However, there is evidence regarding neural alterations also during social inclusion in BPD that we intended to elucidate in our study. Consideri…
Non-suicidal Self-Injury in Adolescence
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a common mental health threat among adolescents. This review aims to present the current literature on epidemiology, etiology, and therapeutic approaches with a focus on the period of adolescence. RECENT FINDINGS: NSSI is widespread among adolescents both in community as well as in clinical settings with lifetime prevalence rates between 17 and 60% in recent studies. It is influenced by multip…
Neural Correlates of Psychotherapeutic Treatment of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
Decreased activity in limbic brain regions and increased activity in frontal brain areas in PTSD patients after successful psychotherapeutic treatment might reflect regained top-down control over previously impaired bottom-up processes
Differential Neural Processing of Social Exclusion and Inclusion in Adolescents with Non-Suicidal Self-Injury and Young Adults with Borderline Personality Disorder
While neural processing of social exclusion was pronounced in adolescents with NSSI, BPD patients also showed increased activity in a per se positive social situation. These results might point toward a higher responsiveness to social exclusion in adolescents with NSSI, which might then develop into a generalized increased sensitivity to all kinds of social situations in adults with BPD

International prevalence of adolescent non-suicidal self-injury and deliberate self-harm
BACKGROUND: The behaviours of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and deliberate self-harm (DSH) are prevalent among adolescents, and an increase of rates in recent years has been postulated. There is a lack of studies to support this postulation, and comparing prevalence across studies and nations is complicated due to substantial differences in the methodology and nomenclature of existing research. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review of curre…
