From biochemical perspective, it crucial consider communication between endocrine, immune, nervous systems when studying etiology suicide. Several pathologies involve bidirectional peripheral activity central system action molecules such cytokines, hormones, neurotransmitters. These humoral signals, present in optimal quantities, are responsible for maintaining physiological homeostasis, mood states. Stress elevates cortisol proinflammatory cytokines levels alter neurotransmitters balance, thereby increasing risk developing psychiatric disorder subsequently suicidal behavior. This review provides an integrative perspective about neurochemical, immunological, endocrinological disturbances associated with behavior, particular focus on those alterations may serve potential markers and/or indicators state preceding tragic act.

AI-Driven Mental Health Surveillance: Identifying Suicidal Ideation Through Machine Learning Techniques

Big Data and Cognitive Computing, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 9(1), P. 16 - 16

Published: Jan. 20, 2025

As suicide rates increase globally, there is a growing need for effective, data-driven methods in mental health monitoring. This study leverages advanced artificial intelligence (AI), particularly natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML), to identify suicidal ideation from Twitter data. A predictive model was developed process social media posts real time, using NLP sentiment analysis detect textual emotional cues associated with distress. The aims potential risks accurately, while minimizing false positives, offering practical tool targeted interventions. achieved notable performance, an accuracy of 85%, precision 88%, recall 83% detecting posts. Advanced preprocessing techniques, including tokenization, stemming, feature extraction term frequency–inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) count vectorization, ensured high-quality data transformation. random forest classifier selected its ability handle high-dimensional effectively capture linguistic patterns linked ideation. model’s reliability supported by precision–recall AUC score 0.93, demonstrating real-time monitoring intervention. By identifying behavioral triggers, such as isolation bullying, this framework provides scalable efficient solution support, contributing significantly prevention strategies worldwide.

Published: Feb. 1, 2025

During the perinatal period, women have an increased risk for psychiatric disorders, which are highly prevalent in this context. In addition, there significant delays diagnosing these conditions, worsening their prognosis and increasing societal burden. Studies describing disorders period often focus on specific disorders; only postpartum depression and, to a lesser extent, anxiety studied. There also very few evaluations conducted by clinicians based semistructured interview, relying diagnostic criteria of international nosography. This multicentric prospective study will recruit 140 adult pregnant randomly selected second trimester (T2) ultrasound consultations. The primary outcome is prevalence any disorder assessed with standardised assessment, Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I.). Within 10 days after T2 appointment, we conduct M.I.N.I., collect demographic data, evaluate suicidal behaviour Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale, describe negative life events from past year using Paykel questionnaire evaluation social deprivation (Evaluation Deprivation Inequalities Health Healthcare Centres score). Participants complete self-administered questionnaires that screen pathologies. We build biological sample collection. At two months post partum, repeat questionnaires, adding assessment mother-child bonding. Patients can choose between in-person or telemedicine visits both occasions.

Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Morpholine-Based Chalcones as Reversible MAO-A Inhibitors in the Management of Mental Depression

Pharmaceuticals, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 18(3), P. 309 - 309

Published: Feb. 23, 2025

Background: Depression is one of the most serious and common health problems among youth population responsible for initiation many diseases. As per World Health Organization, 3.8% suffers from mental depression, globally. The monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A) enzyme degradation neurotransmitters leading to lower levels neurotransmitters. Methods: Chalcones (C1-C15) were synthesized by reacting substituted acetophenone with various benzaldehydes in a basic ethanolic solvent at 80 °C under microwave irradiation conditions. To compare reaction time product yield, conventional method synthesis chalcones was also performed. spectroscopically characterized screened initially inhibitory activities against MAO-A MAO-B. best active compounds undertaken IC50 determination followed reversibility inhibition analysis antioxidant assay. Moreover, silico molecular docking ADME pharmacokinetic investigations accomplished. Results: Most inhibited MAO-A, specifically, C14 C6 exhibited highest values 7.91 ± 0.08 μM 8.45 0.19 μM, respectively. Both these reversible displaying up 60% recovery enzymatic activity when diluted substrate (Tyramine). results study indicated scores −9.56 Kcal/mol (C14) −9.45 (C6) π-π stacking interaction crucial amino acid Trp-397. determined cross blood–brain barrier (BBB) displayed favorable gastrointestinal (GI) absorption. Further, assay demonstrated that possess modest free radical scavenging potential. Conclusions: This potential morpholine-substituted as promising pharmacophore development novel antidepressant lead compounds.
