Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

12.7K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Long-term Depression01:03

Long-term Depression

2.7K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Depressive Disorders: Etiology

185
Depressive disorders result from a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors, each contributing uniquely to the development and persistence of the condition. Understanding these factors provides critical insight into the multifaceted nature of depression.
Biological Factors in Depression
Biological predispositions significantly influence the risk of developing depressive disorders. Genetic studies highlight the role of variations in the serotonin transporter...

Bullying

8.6K
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Depression: Overview01:18

Depression: Overview

478
Depression is a prevalent mental illness marked by persistent sadness and lack of interest in previously enjoyable activities. It can take several forms, including major depression, persistent depressive disorder, and bipolar I and II disorders. Symptoms range from emotional changes like chronic worry to physical changes like sleep disturbances and suicidal thoughts. From a neurobiological perspective, depression is believed to be triggered by abnormalities in the brain's prefrontal cortex,...

Stress and Mental Health01:30

Stress and Mental Health

268
Chronic stress profoundly affects mental health, significantly influencing mood, behavior, and overall quality of life. Research closely links chronic stress with mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Ongoing exposure to stress can lead to physiological and psychological changes, initiating a cycle of emotional distress and maladaptive coping mechanisms.
Individuals with depression often experience challenges in both their personal and professional...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Background:

  • Suicide is a major global cause of death in children and adolescents.
  • While child mortality decreases in Sweden, prior observations noted rising suicide rates in this demographic.
  • Understanding trends, demographics, and methods in child suicides is crucial for effective prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze trends, demographics, and suicide methods among children (under 18 years) in Sweden.
  • To provide updated data on child suicides to inform public health interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Retrieved data on all child suicides in Sweden from 2000 to 2018.
  • Data sourced from the Swedish National Board of Forensic Medicine.
  • Statistical analysis of trends, age, sex, and methods used in child suicides.

Main Results:

  • A total of 416 child suicides occurred over 19 years, with an annual rate of 1.1/100,000.
  • Suicide numbers increased by 2.2% annually (p < 0.001).
  • The majority (96%) were teenagers (13-17 years); hanging was the most common method (59%). Firearm use, though less common, was significantly higher in boys.

Conclusions:

  • The number of child suicides in Sweden is increasing, with a predominance of violent methods.
  • Reducing availability of suicide means is an urgent public health priority.
  • Tailored prevention strategies for children and adolescents are essential, even in settings with strict firearm regulations.
