The prevention and treatment of adolescent depression and suicide represent a current focal point. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the risk factors for suicide in adolescents with depression, scientifically monitor suicide risk, and conduct a multidisciplinary collaboration. There is still a lack of authoritative, evidence-based guidelines in China on how to assess suicide risk early time and how to take targeted prevention. This paper introduces the bio-psycho-social joint intervention model, aiming to help clinicians comprehensively assess the suicide risk in adolescents with depression. The author discussed comprehensive assessment methods and a collaborative system involving family, school, medical, and community entities working together as more effective interventions.

In this study, we aimed to (1) identify white matter (WM) deficits underlying the consciousness level in patients with disorders of consciousness (DOCs) using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and (2) evaluate the relationship between DTI metrics and clinical measures of the consciousness level in DOC patients. With a cohort of 8 comatose, 8 unresponsive wakefulness syndrome/vegetative state, and 14 minimally conscious state patients and 25 patient controls, we performed group comparisons of the DTI metrics in 48 core WM regions of interest (ROIs), and examined the clinical relevance using correlation analysis. We identified multiple abnormal WM ROIs in DOC patients compared with normal controls, and the DTI metrics in these ROIs were significantly correlated with clinical measures of the consciousness level. Therefore, our findings suggested that multiple WM tracts are involved in the impaired consciousness levels in DOC patients and demonstrated the clinical relevance of DTI for DOC patients.
