Filter by:This is a randomized controlled trial comparing the use of new clinical intervention (the "Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality--CAMS") versus enhanced care as usual for suicidal Soldiers who are seen at outpatient mental health clinics at Ft. Stewart GA.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is effective in the treatment of suicidal thinking in individuals with a depressive episode and either posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), history of mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), or both conditions.
The study aims to use a combined clinical and translational approach to identify an efficient pharmacotherapy for the acute management of suicidality and the epigenetic regulation associated with the treatment.The primary objective is a clinical trial to compare the efficacy of paliperidone versus lithium and placebo as adjunctive therapy to the standard of care antidepressants in the acute management of suicidality in depressed subjects. Specific Aims 1 and 2 are described in detail below. Analysis for Specific Aim 2 is still underway.
The primary aim of this study is to examine the relationship between personal values and suicidal thoughts in a sample of U.S. Veterans.
The acutely suicidal patient presents a complex and dangerous clinical dilemma. Many suicidal patients receive antidepressant medications, but the onset of action of these medications is at least three weeks, and despite their established antidepressant effect, they have not shown a clear anti-suicidal benefit. Psychoanalysts hypothesized that depression (often leading to suicidality) shares important characteristics with the psychological sequellae of object loss and separation distress. Endogenous opioids (endorphines) have been implicated in mediating social bonding and separation distress in mammals. Anecdotal evidence and several clinical studies found the mixed opioid agonist-antagonist buprenorphine to be an effective antidepressant with a rapid onset of action. It is therefore hypothesized that buprenorphine may be a novel and quick-acting treatment for acute suicidality, especially in the context of depression. The proposed double-blind study will examine the effect of buprenorphine on acutely suicidal inpatients. Depression, suicidality, and overall functioning will be assessed before, during and after a two-week buprenorphine/placebo trial. A small subgroup of patients will also be treated with short-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy throughout the study period. It is hypothesized that subjects who receive the active drug will show rapid improvements in objective and subjective measures of suicidality and depression.
The purpose of the study is to test whether cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) offered by trained therapists, to people with current active suicidal ideations, is efficacious as a secondary prevention strategy in Sri Lanka, when compared with treatment as usual provided by Medical Officers (Mental Health; MO (MH)) of government hospitals
The purposes of this research are: - to understand the status of suicidal ideation, suicidal behavior, and depression in Harbin University students; and - to analyse the infect factors of suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior. With cognitive behavior interventions on students with suicidal ideation, suicidal behavior, and middle or high degree of depression, the researchers can provide a scientific and effective intervention to the students.

This study will develop a new methodology to evaluate any treatment-emergent suicidal ideation that might occur when an antidepressant treatment has been started and/or during times when doses are increased in patients with major depressive disorder.
This is a study to find out which type of computer screening and nursing support can improve screening for high risk behaviors in doctor's offices. Recommendations call for doctors to screen young people for many different behaviors and feelings such as depression, not wearing seat belts, alcohol and drug use. Doctors rarely have time to complete these screenings. New computers can help ask some of these questions and protect patient information. In addition, nurse telephone calls can often help young persons with some of the behaviors receive treatment. This study will examine which type of computer screening and follow-up will help patients the most.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not spiritual and/or religious commitment affects mood variability and thoughts of suicide. First we hypothesize that among patients with depressive symptoms, those who have higher religious/spiritual (R/S) commitment will have less suicidal ideation and less mood variability. Second, we hypothesize that higher mood variability will be associated with more suicidal ideation. Finally, dependent on the first two hypotheses, we propose that R/S commitment will mediate the relationship between mood variability and suicidal ideation.
