SummarySelf-harm in adolescents is common and is increasing. It can present to professionals as a symptom of major mental health disturbance or it can form part of a cultural ‘norm’. This article reviews current knowledge about self-harm in 12- to 18-year-olds. Definitions of self-harming behaviour, epidemiological and aetiological factors, risk assessment and management of self-harming in various settings are discussed in terms of pragmatic clinical approaches and evidence-based practice.

“…6 The JGSS used a two-stage stratified sampling method and was conducted from 2000 to 2012. For the JGSS, random sampling of 5 The number of completed suicides was larger for males than for females, while the number of attempted suicides is larger for females than for males (e.g., Andrews and Lewinsohn 1992;Garrison et al 1993;Moscicki et al 1998;Moscicki 2001). Furthermore, diagnoses of depressive disorders are also more frequently found for females than for males even though females account for a much smaller proportion of completed suicides (e.g., Rich et al 1986;Rich et al 1988;Henriksson et al 1995).…”

Eiji Yamamura (Seinan Gakuin Un iversity) Terms of use: Documents inAbstract.An increasing number of studies have addressed the determinants of suicide.Social capital is a key factor in preventing suicide. However, little is known about the experience of suicide ideation using subjective values. From the viewpoint of suicide prevention, it is worth examining how people think of suicide. This paper attempts to examine the effect of social capital on suicide ideation. Furthermore, the paper compares the effect of social capital between urban and non-urban areas.In this paper, urban areas are equivalent to mega-cities with populations over one million. Non-urban areas are cities with populations of less than one million, towns and villages. Individual-level data from the Japanese General Social Surveys (JGSSs) are used. The survey, which was conducted in 2006, provides information about the subjective value of suicide ideation. The survey was answered by 1,413 subjects with a mean age of 54.5. Of the subjects, 49% were male. Social trust is used to measure the degree of social capital, and the outcome of interest is suicide ideation within the past 5 years. After controlling for various factors, the major findings are that both individual-level social trust and social trust accumulated in one's residential administrative district reduce the probability that one will consider suicide. After dividing the sample into urban and non-urban residents, particularized trust plays a role in deterring suicide ideation in urban areas, while generalized trust plays a role in deterring suicide ideation in non-urban areas. The effect of each type of trust depends on its scarcity in residential areas.

“…Several studies have reported that major depression, anxiety disorder and substance abuse are often found to co-occur with other psychiatric conditions within suicidal populations (Hawton et al, 2003a;Nock et al, 2010;Suominen et al, 1996). Such findings suggest an increased risk among people with specific multimorbid psychiatric diagnoses and highlight the need for more targeted support from mental health services (Andrews and Lewinsohn, 1992;Bronisch and Wittchen, 1994;Mościcki, 2001;Oquendo et al, 2005;Pawlak et al, 1999;Wunderlich et al, 1998). At the same time, physical health multimorbidity is also associated with an increased risk of suicidal behaviour (Druss and Pincus, 2000;Goodwin et al, 2003b).…”
