Digital mood phenotyping predicts short- and long-term suicidal ideation across a two-year timescale
Abstract Suicide risk is disproportionately elevated among sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals. Identifying time-varying risk states is critical for prevention, yet conventional assessments may not adequately capture mood fluctuations that precede suicidal ideation (SI). In this study, we explored whether ecological momentary assessment (EMA) of mood could capture short-term vulnerability and whether emotion-based subtyping could provide longer-term risk stratification.
Interoception in self-harm and suicide: a scoping review and meta-analysis
Abstract Interoception, the capacity to sense and interpret internal bodily signals, has been recognized as relevant to self-harm and suicide, but these associations and their dimensional specificity have not been quantitatively synthesized.

Organ-specific proteomic aging clocks predict disease and longevity across diverse populations - Nature Aging
Abstract Aging and age-related diseases share convergent pathways at the proteome level. Here, using plasma proteomics and machine learning, we developed organismal and ten organ-specific aging clocks in the UK Biobank (n = 43,616) and validated their high accuracy in cohorts from China (n = 3,977) and the USA (n = 800; cross-cohort r = 0.98 and 0.93).

Genome-wide interaction association analysis identifies interactive effects of childhood maltreatment and kynurenine pathway on depression - Nature Communications
Abstract Childhood maltreatment stands out as a pivotal risk factor for depression, with gene-by-environment interaction serving as a crucial mechanism. Here we perform genome-wide interaction analyzes of childhood maltreatment in the UK Biobank, integrating methylation evidence through colocalization analysis and identifying associated brain structure abnormalities from childhood to adulthood.
Addressing the gender paradox: Effective suicide prevention strategies for women
The gender paradox in suicide research refers to the phenomenon that while males report higher suicide mortality, females suffer more from suicidal thoughts, leading to higher suicidal risks. This paradox may lead to the misconception that female suicides do not require as much attention. Therefore, there is an urgent need for researchers to shift their perspectives from the current male-centric approach to more inclusive knowledge for female suicidality.
Fast and accurate assessment of depression based on voice acoustic features: a cross-sectional and longitudinal study
Introduction Depression is typically diagnosed using self-report scales, which rely on patients’ responses to standardized questions (1). However, the accuracy of this method can be limited by factors such as patients’ self-awareness and truthfulness, as well as social stigmas surrounding mental illness. Lengthy questionnaires may also induce fatigue or impatience. As such, more objective biomarkers of depression are needed to improve diagnosis and assessment (2).
World Health Forum 2022 at Tsinghua University

The forum will discuss mental health inequities, health issues of vulnerable populations, health equity, universal health coverage, climate change, and poverty alleviation. With the UN Sustainable Development Goals now less than 8 years away, progress is urgently needed to close the gap in the inequalities within and between countries.
Focusing on suicide prevention in people with HIV
Although previous research has studied and investigated suicide mortality in people with HIV, there are insufficient relevant data focusing on the trend of suicide mortality in a large, representative sample on a national scale. In Compared with the general population, people with HIV have an elevated risk of dying by suicide. The Lancet HIV, Fangfang Chen and colleagues 2 Chen F Cai C Wang S et al.
