Child maltreatment and its consequences are considered a major public health problem. So far, there is only one study from Germany reporting prevalence rates on different types of maltreatment.A representative sample the German general population was examined for experiences child using Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) between September November 2016. A total 2510 (53.3% female) participants 14 94 years (M = 48.8 years) were enrolled. Besides CTQ, range sociodemographic information...
Background: Child maltreatment is a major public problem, associated with enormous consequences on the individual and socioeconomic level. Studies show clear impact of child long-term physical health. However, there lack analyses comprising wide variety subtypes addressing cumulative effects different experienced during childhood Objective: The objective this analysis was to assess association intensity health outcomes. Methods: In cross-sectional observational approach, representative...
Child maltreatment is an identified risk factor for Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI). The aim of the current study was to investigate effects different types maltreatment, and mediating depression anxiety on NSSI in general population.A representative sample German population, comprising N = 2498 participants (mean age 48.4 years (SD 18.2), 53.3% female) participated this study. assessed using Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ),NSSI with a question lifetime engagement NSSI, depressive...

Those pictures, associated comments, user accounts independently rated content. Associations...
Investigating adolescents and young adults may provide a unique opportunity to understand developmental aspects of the neurobiology depression. During adolescence, considerable physiologic reorganization both grey white matter brain takes place, it has been suggested that differences in grey-matter volumes during adolescence reflect different maturational processes.We investigated comparatively large sample (n = 103) (aged 12 27 years), 60 them with diagnosis current depression.Replicating...
Globally, a number of large infant/child prospective studies have been launched to examine environmental and genetic determinants common diseases children, such as asthma, developmental delay behaviour abnormalities, well the consequences early exposure for adult diseases. While several these are relatively very large—over 100 000 subjects—and adequately powered their principal outcomes interest, none individual sufficient size relationship between exposures they measuring rare childhood...
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a symptom of borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, NSSI often occurs independently BPD. Altered neural processing social exclusion has been shown in adolescents with and adults BPD additional alterations during inclusion patients. Aims this study were to investigate differences situations between young NSSI.Using fMRI, positive negative (paradigm: "Cyberball") was explored. Participants 14 NSSI, but without (Mage = 15.4; SD 1.9), 15 23.3; 4.1), as...
Chronic pain is a frequent burden in the general population. Child maltreatment and bullying are risk factors for development of chronic pain.

Child maltreatment of all types is a serious concern for society, and it important to monitor trends in incidence order inform child welfare agencies policy-makers about emerging issues.

The present first look at more recent examine other as well.We compared datasets two population-based nationwide surveys, one...
Background Social media has become increasingly important for communication among young people. It is also often used to communicate suicidal ideation. Aims To investigate the link between acute suicidality and language use as well activity on Instagram. Method A total of 52 participants, aged average around 16 years, who had posted pictures non-suicidal self-injury Instagram, reported a lifetime history ideation, were interviewed using Instagram messenger. Of those 45.5% ideation day...
Understanding the association between autonomic nervous system [ANS] function and brain morphology across lifespan provides important insights into neurovisceral mechanisms underlying health disease. Resting-state ANS activity, indexed by measures of heart rate [HR] its variability [HRV] has been associated with morphology, particularly cortical thickness [CT]. While findings have mixed regarding anatomical distribution direction associations, these inconsistencies may be due to sex age...
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a common phenomenon among adolescents, but often not disclosed due to fear of stigmatization. Social media frequently used publish photos NSSI and share experiences with NSSI. Objectives this study were find out more about the motivation for publishing content investigate effect that sharing on social has young people. In current study, we interviewed N=59 participants (mean age = 16.7 years [SD 1.2 years]; 72.9% female), who had all posted within past...
