Contacts with primary care for early psychosis are common, and there is a need for further insight into help-seeking patterns.

Individuals living with serious mental illness (SMI) face pervasive stigma, with damaging effects on their intimate lives. Although evidence suggests individuals might endorse stereotypes about their romantic relationships, no tool has addressed self-stigma in this domain.

Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) tools show promise for anxiety and stress management, but patient perspectives remain poorly understood.

Criminalization of people experiencing mental illness is systemic, but the conditions surrounding police use-of-force in such encounters are under-examined.

The Emergency Department (ED) is a key setting for suicide risk assessments. In the UK, mental health professionals (MHPs) in psychiatry liaison teams assess suicide risk.

Family/informal carers play important roles in supporting or monitoring medicine-taking for people with recurrent psychosis, but their views on antipsychotic medication are under-researched.

The week following discharge from inpatient psychiatry is a time of exponentially increased risk of death by suicide among people diagnosed with a mental illness. Yet, a significant number of individuals do not receive timely outpatient follow-up upon being discharged from hospital. Psychosocial interventions that target suicidality initiated within inpatient psychiatry may help to prepare individuals for this vulnerable transition.

In evaluating the effectiveness of different therapeutic methods aimed at fostering post-traumatic growth (PTG) in individuals who have experienced trauma, a key inquiry arises: Can cognitive-behavioral therapies enhance PTG in those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder?

Complex PTSD (CPTSD) is often associated with prolonged or repeated trauma exposure and the experience of intimate partner and childhood abuse. CPTSD includes the criteria for PTSD (re-experiencing, avoidance, and sense of threat) in addition to three criteria for self-organization disturbances (affective dysregulation, negative self-concept, and relational disturbance).

In Canada, more than 4,500 people die by suicide annually, with individuals diagnosed with psychotic disorders being at significantly higher risk. Although the risk factors for suicide in this population are well-established, the assessment of suicide risk remains underexplored.

Caregivers often report high stress levels, which may be associated with adverse mental health. Less is known about adult sexual and gender minority (SGM) caregivers' experienced stress and/or mental health considering they are likely at increased vulnerability to these outcomes due to social stigma, familial estrangement, and discrimination.

Systematic reviews have identified variation and inequity in care provision for people with pre-existing severe mental illnesses who have palliative or end-of-life care needs.

Depression is a common mental disorder worldwide. The internet offers a wide range of digital resources on depression, but its credibility is sometimes doubted due to the potential for erroneous information, which can worsen the stigma surrounding mental health and deter individuals from seeking professional services.

The self-presentation of psychiatric disorders on social media has generated a countermovement of sceptics who believe some are "faked" for reasons of self-promotion. This has been the focus of a Reddit forum called r/FakeDisorderCringe, an active community with almost 300,000 members. Given the influence of online discourse on public attitudes, understanding which diagnoses attract the most scepticism and what conversational themes surround these concerns is important in understanding lay controversies in mental health.

Reducing barriers to engagement in mental health services by meeting people in the communities "where they are" has potential to reach those who would be otherwise disengaged.

We examined odds of anxiety and depression symptomology among sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals compared to straight and cisgender individuals, stratified by race.

Community care for persons with severe mental health challenges [SMHC] is typically provided by family members or relatives who are referred to as carers or caregivers. Identifying carer needs and suggestions for support is therefore critical to the enhancement of community care for such individuals.

Mental health nurse practitioners represent a workforce with capacity to significantly contribute to meeting public need for psychotherapy.

Children of parents with mental illness (COPMI) have not received sufficient support in China despite their genetic and environmental risk of adverse mental health outcomes.

Quality mental health services are pivotal in addressing mental health issues worldwide. Despite this importance, many countries face challenges in providing accessible, high-quality mental health care.

During times of war and violent conflict, populations endure profound psychological pressures. These challenging circumstances highlight how personal attributes, particularly one's life orientation and sense of hope, can fundamentally shape an individual's psychological resilience and well-being.

Trends in news being increasingly accessed via social media warrants more attention to how mental illness and suicide news is being communicated on social platforms, which have the potential to amplify or mitigate stigma in wider audiences.

Insight into the assessment of patient-reported outcomes among adults with depression can help to understand their perception of their mental health and care experience.

While some digital supports aid in improving young people's mental health, there is a dearth of information regarding the most effective ways to involve young people in the co-production of digital technologies. User input is essential, particularly for marginalised young people who are often excluded. The aim of this scoping review was to examine recent literature on the most common co-production processes of digital mental health supports with marginalised young people.

Despite higher suicide rates, men are less likely to seek psychological help than women, and even when they do seek help, services are often ill-equipped to meet their needs and maintain their ongoing engagement in care.

People with serious mental illness (SMI) and those who have experienced homelessness have disrupted social functioning. A primary obstacle to successful social functioning is building and maintaining meaningful social connections, which may depend on individuals' motivation to engage in social interactions.

Linguistic analysis, notably using conceptually derived linguistic categories, has been used to quantify various aspects of serious mental illness. It has the potential for understanding paranoia, defined in terms of perceived and intentional threats from others. However, paranoia and the language expressing it potentially varies due to demographic factors, notably race and sex.
