“…Third, the accumulation of life stress indicators should be noted, including such factors as loss of a parent by death or divorce; poverty; frequent mobility; chronic health problems; child abuse; parental unemployment; and parental history of psychiatric disorder, substance abuse, or criminal behavior. Since the majority of black youths are from lower‐income families, they are more likely than white youths to experience a higher number of these life stress indicators, which are also known correlates of suicide in young people (Children's Defense Fund, 1986; Cohen‐Sandier, Berman, & King, 1982; Grueling & DeBlassie, 1980; Hendin, 1969; Ladame & Jeanneret, 1982). Fourth, for middle‐class black youths, special attention should be paid to dramatic changes in behavior and affect (e.g., moodiness, irritability, crying spells), social relationships (withdrawal, rejection of former friends), and school or job performance (underachievement, absenteeism, lack of motivation).…”

“…They have noted that being of sensitive nature; the victims of violence are more prone to depression and other related problems of maladjustment (21). Ladame (1982) reviewed the epidemiology of suicide in adolescents and noted that sexual violence is the major contributory factor towards the problem (22). Brodskyu and Walker (1976) were also the opinion that suicide and sexual assault are closely related.…”

In today’s world man finds himself exposed to the temptations of (This entire sentence is not objective, scientific terminology) (These crimes are not limited to TODAY’s world, the perpetrator is not always a man, and evil is not a scientific subject to be included in a scholarly paper, it is subjective to individual beliefs and laws). A movement should have been augmented to fight against these (do not use dramatic subjective terms) societal crimes, which forms a sort of mental purge for those so inclined to take advantage of their positions of trust. Child abuse has historically been a common offence against children without sufficient social and legal sanctions throughout the world. To deal with child sexual abuse cases while treating the victims, it’s necessary to assess the patient’s psychiatric health. The victims were examined after obtaining informed consent from the child or from their guardian. Results The patient’s psychiatric health was determined by the Hamilton Scale for depression and anxiety. The total number of cases was 52. Of the 52 cases 33 patients (i.e. 63.5 % of the cases) consented to undergo medical examination. 19 victims (36.5%) did not give their consent for their medical examination. The mean Hamilton A score for anxiety was 19.39 and mean Hamilton D score for depression was 28.81. Conclusions When the accused is known to the victim most cases are associated with severe or very severe degree of depression; and moderate or severe anxiety. After completing a detail study of the violations of minor girls it is concluded that it would be beneficial for the global society to take initiatives to minimize the incidence of such acts.

“…Suicide is understood as a series of actions including suicidal ideation, suicidal planning, and suicide attempt. 1 Suicidal ideation refers to immersion into thoughts about suiciderelated behaviors, 2 and suicidal planning refers to specific planning to attempt suicide, which can lead to suicide attempt and ultimately death. If suicidal ideation is focused on the aspect of thinking, suicide attempt is the outward expression as a specific action.…”

Objective There are growing interests on suicide risk screening in clinical settings and classifying high-risk groups of suicide with suicidal ideation is crucial for a more effective suicide preventive intervention. Previous statistical techniques were limited because they tried to predict suicide risk using a simple algorithm. Machine learning differs from the traditional statistical techniques in that it generates the most optimal algorithm from various predictors.Methods We aim to analyze the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) profiles of child and adolescent patients who received outpatient psychiatric care using machine learning techniques, such as logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machine (SVM), and extreme gradient boosting (XGB), to develop and validate a classification model for individuals with high suicide risk.Results We developed prediction models using seven relevant features calculated by Boruta algorithm and subsequently tested all models using the testing dataset. The area under the ROC curve of these models were above 0.9 and the RF model exhibited the best performance.Conclusion Suicide must be assessed based on multiple aspects, and although Personality Assessment Inventory for Adolescent assess an array of domains, further research is needed for predicting high suicide risk groups.
