Traditionally, various approaches have been used, but with limited success. However, with the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), new possibilities have emerged. This paper reviews the potentials and challenges of integrating AI into suicide prevention strategies, focusing on adolescents. <i>Method</i>: This narrative review assesses the impact of AI on suicide prevention strategies, the strategies and cases of AI applications in adolescent suicide prevention, as well as the challenges faced. Through searches on the PubMed, web of science, PsycINFO, and EMBASE databases, 19 relevant articles were included in the review. <i>Results:</i> AI has significantly improved risk assessment and predictive modeling for identifying suicidal behavior. It has enabled the analysis of textual data through natural language processing and fostered novel intervention strategies. Although AI applications, such as chatbots and monitoring systems, show promise, they must navigate challenges like data privacy and ethical considerations. The research underscores the potential of AI to enhance future suicide prevention efforts through personalized interventions and integration with emerging technologies. <i>Conclusion</i>: AI possesses transformative potential for adolescent suicide prevention by offering targeted and adaptive solutions, while they also raise crucial ethical and practical considerations. Looking forward, AI can play a critical role in mitigating adolescent suicide rates, marking a new frontier in mental health care.</p>","PeriodicalId":49656,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry-Interpersonal and Biological Processes","volume":" ","pages":"7-20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139472114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To imagine another's situation, empathize with it, and then learn of their struggles or achievements, is an excellent opportunity for us to grow. It is transformative. These meaningful messages should be examined, rather than simply dismissed. Medicine has learned much from examining animals, nature, and history. Is it outlandish to consider the possibility that examination of Middle Earth, Hobbits and Elves, could be equally useful? When we consider psychiatric illness or distress, we are examining many very complicated processes happening within an individual's mind. Similarly, when we read or watch a well-done novel or film, the impact can be very far from fictitious. We experience the story with the characters, often reciprocating their emotions and deliberating on their decisions. To chalk this experience up as \"fake\" would be a disservice. After all, the effects of the physical world and a person's imagination can have comparable reverberations throughout the psyche. Stories have considerable impact on our psychological health, and the insight that we extract from them can improve overall emotional wellbeing. The Lord of the Rings is a classic and brilliantly depicted narrative. Despite many characters being of different species, they teach very tangible human lessons.

In general, the classification and interpretation of facial emotions is influenced by a pattern of external cues (e.g., the expresser, visual cues, auditive and verbal cues, body language) and internal cues of the perceiver (e.g., cultural background, mood, personality traits, social learning, psychiatric and neurological disorders, mindfulness; Newen et al., 2015). However, it remains unclear which of these cues are critical in the classification of ambiguous faces. Thus, we performed a pilot study which examined the emotion classification of seven ambiguous facial expressions that were presented on a computer screen in front of eight different emotional contexts suggestive of happiness, fear, anger, disgust and sadness in a randomized order (see, Figure 1), and afterward in their original context. The analyzed sample comprised 38 healthy participants (21 females and 17 males) at a mean age of 22.21 years (SD = 3.138). Mood, life events, and personality were examined using selfreport questionnaires and participants rated their subjective use of context-, eyeand faceinformation by use of a slider bar. A series of explorative paired Wilcoxon tests revealed that emotional contexts affected the classification of ambiguous facial expressions. Results were most concise in a highly salient context suggesting disgust (a picture of maggots), which led to a significantly more frequent classification of disgust than all other emotions. Regarding the other emotional contexts except for contexts suggesting happiness, participants significantly more frequently classified the emotion suggested by the context than most other emotions. Across all emotional conditions, participants more frequently classified emotions of negative valence (fear, anger, sadness, disgust). In the original context, faces were instead classified predominantly as happy, followed by surprise. Bivariate Spearman correlational analyses between the self-reported information and emotional classifications revealed that the participants’ subjective use of contextual but not facial information, the irritability and fear experience subscales of the mood questionnaire (Eigenschaftswörterliste/EWL-K, Janke & Debus, 1978) and","PeriodicalId":49656,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry-Interpersonal and Biological Processes","volume":"86 1","pages":"67-69"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9389163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
