The increasing prevalence of suicidal ideation among university students, especially those enrolled in medical and healthcare courses, necessitates innovative approaches for early detection and prevention.

This study leverages the capabilities of machine learning methods and explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) to addre…
Digital mental health in Italy
National initiatives should firstly address education and training needs of the youngest mental health professionals, particularly those without a mentor/supervisor experienced in providing DMH/DP and in educating younger professionals in the digital clinical practice.

Risk Perception among Psychiatric Patients during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The fear of the new coronavirus infection has driven many non-COVID-19 patients away from essential healthcare. Our study aimed to investigate the perception of risk and feelings of danger for the contagion in a sample of Italian psychiatric patients. We conducted a cross-sectional observational study during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown in Italy. The risk perception and risk-related variables were assessed in a sample…
Flourishing or Languishing? Predictors of Positive Mental Health in Medical Students during the Covid-19 Pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, medical students were burdened with high levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. The objective of the present study was to investigate predictors of positive mental health among medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted an online survey from September 2021 to March 2022. We applied the snowball recruitment technique involving medical students from the University of Catania, Italy. We administered…
Psychological well‐being and family distress of Italian caregivers during the Covid‐19 outbreak
The present study aimed to investigate the personal well‐being and family distress of Italian caregivers during the lockdown. Five hundred sixty‐five family caregivers and 638 age‐ and sex‐matched noncaregivers completed a web‐based survey. The following scales were administered to all participants: General Health Questionnaire‐12 items (GHQ‐12), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS), and Family Distress Index (FDI). …
Prevalence of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Among Asylum Seekers in Italy
Perceived insecurity, mental health and urbanization
AIMS: This article aims to (1) explore the levels of perceived insecurity in a sample of patients with mood or anxiety disorders and (2) assess whether living in 'big cities' can influence the levels of patients' perceived insecurity and social contacts compared to living in a non-urbanized context. METHODS: A total of 24 Italian mental health centers (MHCs) have been invited to participate. Twenty patients consecutively accessing the MHC have be…
