Summary
Research on non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and adolescent depression is growing. Key trends include childhood trauma and internet addiction as emerging research frontiers, offering insights for mental health interventions.
Area of Science:
- Adolescent Mental Health
- Psychiatry
- Bibliometrics
Background:
- Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a significant public health issue in adolescents.
- NSSI frequently co-occurs with depression, necessitating a deeper understanding of the research landscape.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of research on NSSI in adolescent depression.
- To identify key research hotspots, influential contributors, and emerging trends from 2014-2024.
Main Methods:
- Analyzed 777 articles from the Web of Science Core Collection (2014-2024).
- Utilized VOSviewer and CiteSpace for bibliometric and visualization analysis.
- Focused on publication trends, country/journal/author contributions, and keyword co-occurrence.
Main Results:
- Significant increase in research output, led by China and the US.
- Journal of Affective Disorders and author You Jianing identified as highly influential.
- Key research areas include risk factors (gender, trauma), comorbidities (BPD, sleep disorders), and assessment tools.
- Childhood trauma and internet addiction are emerging research frontiers.
Conclusions:
- Bibliometric analysis offers a comprehensive overview of NSSI in adolescent depression research.
- Identifies critical trends, influential work, and future research directions.
- Provides valuable insights for advancing adolescent mental health interventions.

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

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,...

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.

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...
