Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic has raised global concerns regarding mental health, including suicidal behavior.
- Understanding the research landscape is crucial for addressing this public health crisis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the global research output on suicidal behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- To identify trends, key contributors, and citation impact of research in this field.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of publications on suicidal behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Data sourced from the Scopus database up to May 17, 2021.
- Analysis included publication counts, citations, country productivity, and journal impact.
Main Results:
- 686 publications from 78 countries were identified, receiving 7970 citations.
- The United States, United Kingdom, and India were the most productive countries.
- France, Bangladesh, and Germany showed the highest relative citation index.
Conclusions:
- Suicidal behavior research has garnered substantial attention during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Bibliometric analysis reveals key global research trends and influential contributions.
- Further research and targeted interventions are needed to address pandemic-related suicidal behavior.

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...

16.9K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

01:30Stress 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.

01:27Depressive 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...

01:03Long-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.

40.5K
The chi-square test is a statistical hypothesis test. It is used to check whether there is a significant difference between an expected value and an observed value. In the context of genetics, it enables us to either accept or reject a hypothesis, based on how much the observed values deviate from the expected values.
The chi-square test was developed by Pearson in 1990.
The first step of performing a Chi-square analysis is to establish a null hypothesis, which assumes that there is no real...
