Furthermore, it has also been proven for decades that - partially due to its aforementioned effects - Li has marked antisuicide properties in subjects with mood disorders. Intriguingly, consistent findings from several studies conducted in the last 15 years suggest that the antisuicide effect of Li can also be detected in those members of the population who consume drinking water with high Li contents (in connection with this, we must note that the level of Li in tap water is several orders of magnitude less than the therapeutic dose of Li). Based on these results, and also taking into the consideration the long-known anti-goiter effect of iodized table salt, some experts suggest considering the enrichment of tap water with microdose Li.

This interest however largely focused on the poetic oeuvre of Sándor Weöres and on his struggle with alcohol. However, the impact of this legendary encounter on Amy Károlyi's art has been a subject of few analyses. The purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding on the impact of this encounter with Sándor Weöres and the life- and creative fellowship with him had on Amy Károlyi's art and life, as well as what creative influences can be identified in the couple's oeuvre. The study identifies the most common beliefs (\"legends\") regarding the Weöres-Károlyi couple, as well as the most important literary imprints of their marital and creative community and their effects on Károlyi's poetry through an overview of Károlyi's confessional works. Based on the revealed biographical and artistic associations, it can be concluded that despite the fact, that Amy Károlyi's literary work was fulfilled in her marriage, and creative fellowship with Weöres, her figure still appears in literary memory as the support and \"savior\" of her husband, Weöres.</p>","PeriodicalId":35063,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatria Hungarica","volume":"38 4","pages":"406-417"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139672863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although a number of factors may play a role in suicide, in the present review we focused on the meta-analyses that examined self-injurious behavior and suicide attempts in autism due to the importance of these factors. Results to date suggest that the risk of self-harming behavior and suicide attempts in autism is approximately three-times higher than in the general population. Of concern, are findings that suggest that women with autism are 5-13 times more likely to complete suicide than women without autism. It is noteworthy that the high-functioning autistic group has a significantly higher risk of suicide than the low-functioning group. By contrast, the risk of death from somatic causes is higher in the low-functioning autistic group.

The literature interpreting the paintings, particularly art history, art psychology and psychiatry, agrees that the two paintings, painted in a psychotic state, can be seen as a coping response to van Gogh's fear of death, a kind of mourning. There is, however, another interpretation of the paintings, which emerges when the two paintings are seen as a unified whole. In this case, the picture refers to the relationship between artistic and emotional commitment, and conveys the message that the painter's artistic mission does not tolerate a partner, and that he must sacrifice his private life for his art. This concept is in line with the basic idea of the poem \"Choice\" by the Nobel Prize-winning Irish poet Samuel Butler Yeats. In some examples from the history of art, such as Csontváry, Gulácsy and Cézanne, creative and private life are indeed mutually exclusive, but in others, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Bach, Woolf and Joyce, artistic and emotional commitment have proved compatible.</p>","PeriodicalId":35063,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatria Hungarica","volume":"38 4","pages":"328-342"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139672860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
