Introduction: Suicide is a growing public health concern among adolescents worldwide. While many young people transition into healthy adulthood, adolescence remains a period of increased vulnerability for mental health. This study aims to examine scientific research on adolescent suicide and to analyze the major trends that have shaped the field over the past two decades. Methods: Data were retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) database. One thousand five hundred twenty-seven articles published between 2000 and 2024 with the keywords “suicide” and “adolescent/adolescents/adolescence” in their titles, and indexed in SSCI or SCI-E, were included. Network and cluster analyses were conducted using VOSviewer software. Results: Publications on adolescent suicide have increased steadily, peaking in 2023 with over 150 articles. Nearly 6,000 researchers from more than 1,900 institutions contributed, and articles originated from 84 countries across 450 journals. Collectively, the publications received over 50,000 citations, averaging 35 per article. Keyword analysis identified more than 2,000 distinct terms, with “adolescent,” “suicide,” and “suicide attempt” most frequent. Research trends emphasize the identification of risk factors, the prediction of suicidal behaviors, and longitudinal investigations of the post-pandemic period. Discussion: The findings revealed a thematic evolution, with a shift from descriptive studies toward predictive and interdisciplinary approaches. Technological advances, particularly machine learning and predictive models, increasingly shape research directions. Reliance on a single database is recognized as a limitation. Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview of adolescent suicide research. The findings highlight the thematic evolution of the field and offer valuable insights to guide future scholarly work.

Introduction/Objective: The transdiagnostic construct of aggression in children and adolescents is often characterized by distinct mental phenomena, such as irritability, emotional dysregulation (ED), anger, and outbursts. However, these terms are frequently interchanged in clinical settings despite their distinct semantic nuances. Therefore, it is critical to delve into the complex dynamics of aggression, irritability, and emotional dysregulation in the child and adolescent population. Methods: An extensive search was conducted across diverse databases using the keywords "Aggression," "Violence," "Irritability," and "Emotional dysregulation." This search encompassed articles on childhood aggression, covering its prevalence, risk factors, clinical manifestations, assessment methods, treatment modalities, and prognostic indicators. Initial screening identified 261 articles, with 40 selected for the initial draft and an additional 15 included later, either manually or via reverse citations. Results: The appraisal of aggression is challenging due to its terminology and diagnostic complexities, especially in distinguishing normative behavior from psychopathological impairments. There is a significant lack of empirical evidence, like systematic reviews concerning the heterogenous dimensional understanding of aggression, including its social determinants, comorbidities, and targeted interventions. Likewise, there is a crucial need to assess comorbid conditions like ADHD, DMDD, and ODD to gain deeper insights into their developmental, social, and biological determinants. Emphasizing comorbidity assessment and age of onset during initial diagnostic evaluations is vital, followed by a structured approach to interventions encompassing behavioral and pharmacological strategies. Conclusion: There is a need for a stepwise multidimensional assessment towards contextual understanding of aggression and sequencing the treatment of aggression in children and adolescents. It is paramount to incorporate tailored interventions with shared decision-making.

Introduction/Objective: The present study explored a moderated mediation model within a cohort of emerging adults, examining the interplay between Trait Impulsivity (TI), Emotional Regulation (ER), and symptoms of ADHD Hyperactivity/Impulsivity (HI) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Methods: Utilizing a convenience sample of 210 emerging adults (men = 49, women = 161; mean age 21.17 years; SD = 2.20 years), the study employed standardized measures to analyze the relationships between TI, HI, ODD, and ER, using Hayes’s macro for SPSS Process model 14. Results: The findings showed that HI mediated the association between TI and ODD and that ER moderated the association between HI and ODD, such that lower levels of ER increased the association. Conclusion: These findings align with the Trait Impulsivity Hypothesis (TIH), extending its application by integrating temperament literature on ADHD. This study contributes to the theoretical and practical understanding of impulsivity's role in externalizing disorders, highlighting the importance of ER in this dynamic.

Objective: The objective of this review is to explore the impact of social media use on the mental health of teenagers, considering both advantages and disadvantages through a Narrative evaluation of recent studies. Methods: A Narrative review of current literature was conducted to assess the effects of social media on adolescent mental health. The findings were categorized into seven areas: general mental health effects, specific issues such as anxiety and depression, behavioral impacts like addiction and self-regulation, effects on vulnerable populations, the influence of COVID-19, digital mental health services, ethical considerations with AI, and implications for academic achievement and public health. Results: Social media use has both positive and negative effects on adolescent mental health. It is associated with an increase in behavioral issues such as addiction and mental health problems like anxiety and depression. Vulnerable groups, including LGBTQ+ youth and victims of cyberbullying, face heightened risks. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated these mental health challenges, though social media provided essential support networks. Digital mental health services were beneficial but raised ethical concerns, particularly regarding privacy and the need for culturally sensitive interventions. Conclusion: The review underscores the need for balanced strategies to mitigate the negative impacts of social media on adolescent mental health. Comprehensive digital literacy programs, culturally relevant interventions, and ethical considerations in digital mental health services are crucial to supporting adolescent well-being in the digital age.

Background: Screen time has become an inevitable aspect of daily life due to increased technological access and changes in the social and economic landscapes. The increase in screen time is associated with the development of various health conditions. Contextually, research on screen time and its health impact has been studied widely. Therefore, the present study tried to understand the trends and themes in the global research on screen time and its associated health aspects. Methods: We adopted a bibliometric review, and the data were extracted from the SCOPUS database, limiting it to 2012-2023 (n =4077). The final number of studies considered for the analysis was 2919 after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Scientific production has increased over the years on this topic, with few consistent contributors (Tremblay MS, Chaput JP, and Carson V) and sources from Western countries leading the production in this domain. In addition, from the results of thematic network mapping, we identified the basic yet underdeveloped topics in screen time and health research, namely obesity, risk factors to health, and mental health. A good proportion of the studies involve children and adolescents as participants, indicating the growing trend of studying screen time risk factors for these age groups' health. Conclusion: It was evident from the result that the earlier works have focused on screen time as a risk to health and well-being. However, its role in specific health conditions is underdeveloped. Further, the case of adolescents and children being a widely studied age group suggests the implications for their health and mental health.

Introduction: This study examines how parents’ perceptions of boundaries influence their relationship with their children. Methods: The survey was conducted in 2024, with the participation of parents of children aged 6-14. Particularly, ninety people participated in this survey, of whom 84.4% were women (n= 76) and 15.6% were men (n= 14). Two questionnaires were used. The first (Boundaries Quiz - BQ) measures the degree of familiarity with boundaries, and the second (Child-Parent Relationship Scale - CPRS) assesses parents' perceptions of their relationship with their children. Results: The results showed a normal distribution of data regarding the familiarity with boundaries (p= 0.87), while the quality of the relationship showed a non-normal distribution in all three question categories (Conflicts p= 0.017, Closeness p= 0.001, Dependence p= 0.007). Parents seemed to face problems setting their boundaries, especially in cases of divorce (Mean= 19.6, Standard Deviation= 10.15). A statistically significant difference was observed between divorced parents and those with a cohabitation agreement (p= 0.023). It was also found that family status significantly influenced how parents set boundaries, in contrast to their profession. Discussion: Parental boundaries towards children are crucial for their holistic development, providing guidance and security. result: The results showed a normal distribution of data for familiarity with boundaries with p>0.05 (p= 0.87), while the quality of the relationship showed a non-normal distribution in all three question categories with p≤ 0.05 (Conflicts p= 0.017, Closeness p= 0.001, Dependence p= 0.007). Parents seemed to face problems setting their boundaries, especially in cases of divorce as OD= 19.6, SD= 10.15 and a statistically significant difference between Divorced parents and parents with a Cohabitation Agreement with pTukey= 0.023. No statistically significant correlation was observed between familiarity with boundaries and the quality of the parent-child relationship. It was also found that family status significantly influenced the way in which parents set boundaries in contrast to the profession. Conclusion: In general, the study concluded that the majority of parents experience problems setting their boundaries. The present study had some limitations due to the small sample and the fact that the sample composition is heavily skewed. Future studies must be concluded, including larger samples, leading to more reliable results.

Abstract: Adolescents from non-dominant social and cultural backgrounds frequently experience additional compounding factors that impact mental health and social-emotional wellbeing, occasionally necessitating psychiatric intervention. Further, young people from refugee backgrounds face suicide risk factors in addition to those experienced by their peers. At present, culturally transferable, evidence-based interventions for adolescents residing in multicultural populations are not readily available, despite extensive research that demonstrates the positive effects of these interventions. This article aimed to (1) justify the importance of awareness training for mental health professionals working with multicultural adolescent populations, (2) discuss the implications for advancing preventative programs to minimise universal responses to assessment and intervention of adolescents from non-dominant cultures, and (3) examine existing interventions. Six brief case studies in the form of a vignette are presented to highlight some of the challenges that adolescents from different cultural backgrounds face in the Australian context. method: Case study other: The current study holds significant implications for various stakeholders and the following fields.• Cross-Cultural Understanding - the research contributes to fostering cross-cultural understanding, promoting cultural empathy and consideration of the role of culture in understanding universal and culture specific values and the attribution of meaning to behaviour.• Educational and Social Services - the findings can inform educators, social workers, and other professionals working with migrant families about their unique needs and challenges. • Cultural Preservation and Adaptation - the study contributes to the discourse on cultural preservation and adaptation among immigrant communities, highlighting how immigrant families maintain aspects of their culture while adapting to the norms and values of the new society.• Policy Development - the findings can inform the development of policies related to cultural integration, multicultural parenting dynamics, and family support services. Policymakers can use this information to design more inclusive and effective policies that meet the needs of diverse populations.• Academic research - these findings can inform educators, social workers, and other professionals working with immigrant families about their unique needs and challenges.

Background: Suicide is a significant health issue among young people globally. According to available statistics and research, it ranks as the third leading cause of death for individuals aged 15-24 and the second leading cause of death among students. Aim: This study was conducted to investigate the risk of suicide and its related factors among students at Jiroft University of Medical Sciences. Methods: The descriptive study of the current analysis is a cross-sectional type that was conducted using a multi-stage sampling method on 128 students at Jiroft University of Medical Sciences in 2022. Data were collected using the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSSI) and analyzed with statistical tests of analysis of variance, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis in SPSS-24 statistical software. Results: The average age of students was 22.14 ± 2.96 years. Seventeen individuals (13.3%) had a history of suicide attempts. The average suicide risk score was 6.18 ± 5.61, indicating a high risk of suicide among students. The suicide risk score differed between individuals with strong religious beliefs and those with little belief (p=0.025). The average score for suicidal risks was lower in individuals with complete religious beliefs. Conclusion: The study shows that students are at a high risk of suicide. This highlights the need to prioritize mental health, implement effective suicide prevention strategies, and personalize interventions to reduce the risk of suicide among medical students.
