Clinical and Neurocognitive Characteristics of Adolescents with Non-Suicidal Self-Injury and Suicidal Behavior: The Role of Hyperactivity Symptoms
Key Points
The study aims to explore the neurocognitive performance of adolescents engaging in non-suicidal self-injury and suicidal behavior, focusing on hyperactivity symptoms.
Compared neurocognitive performance in adolescents with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicidal behavior (SB)
Identified the role of hyperactivity symptoms in distinguishing between NSSI and SB
Analyzed the relationship between hyperactivity and suicide risk
Adolescents with NSSI and SB showed similar neurocognitive capabilities
Hyperactivity symptoms were notably different in those with suicidal behavior
Targeting hyperactivity could potentially lower the suicide risk in adolescents engaging in self-injury
Abstract
Adolescents with NSSI and SB show comparable neurocognitive performance, but hyperactivity symptoms differentiate those with SB. Targeting hyperactivity may reduce suicide risk in self-injuring youth.
