Does preference for solitude and social isolation increase the risk of suicidal ideation and self-harm in adolescents?
Does preference for solitude and social isolation increase the risk of suicidal ideation and self-harm in adolescents?
Preference for solitude, particularly when combined with social isolation, is a significant risk factor for suicidal ideation and self-harm in adolescents.
May warrant assessing preference for solitude in adolescent mental health evaluations; leaves open causality and intervention effects.
PfS was associated with increased odds of SI and SH in adolescents. No interaction effect between PfS and social isolation on SI and SH was found, but adolescents with PfS and social isolation had the highest risk for SI and SH. Parents and professionals should pay attention to suicide risk in adolescents with PfS.
