"Conclusion: We found a longitudinal association between high levels of school absence (>10% of sessions) and later mental health problems in a nationally representative sample of adolescents in England. High levels of school absence can be used as an early marker of increased risk of mental health problems in the general population. School absence may contribute to the development of later mental health problems in adolescents."

Here's an article for anyone interested in a psychopathological account of how the human body has been approached in the history of Western thought—an approach that can be described as a form of psychosis.

Doing some extra case work as a student, and came across an interesting case. The person could technically fit the criteria for Aspergers in the dsm iv tr but they would not meet the criteria for asd in the dsm 5 tr. I know the criteria for aspergers could have been much better outlined. And the person does not fit the typical picture for aspergers but technically, they do meet the criteria.

For instance they have no deficits in nonverbal behavior or social emotional reciprocity. They do not display social emotional reciprocity... but I don't believe they have an impairment with it. They do however fail to develop peer relations and lack spontaneous seeking to share enjoyment etc.

Would this come down to clinical judgement?

I only ask about aspgergers cause the case if from 2009 and I was curious.

Abstract: End of life care in dementia is important to avoid patients receiving unnecessary investigations and treatments. In this paper, the authors discuss the final stage of dementia, illustrating this with a case example reflecting what is frequently encountered in hospital practice. The distinction is drawn between ‘terminal inanition’ of dementia and the more protracted cachexia, sarcopenia and progressive frailty that accompanies advancing dementia, with best practice clinical care considerations for palliative care outlined.

I am looking to apply to graduate programs in clinical psychology this fall. Does anyone have recommendations for researchers who focus on pathological narcissism that I should check out?

Any tips are appreciated.

Like when they were hung and afterwards received medical attention.

The idea is that a lot of people who attempted suicide and failed realized they actually don't want to die.

Was there something like that?

This may be a stupid question but I was unsure where else to post. I was reading about how Nordic countries are some of the happiest nations on the planet. I also read they a bit above or average in terms of suicide rates within the EU. Why is this the case? Why aren’t Nordic countries low on the suicide spectrum if they are so ‘happy’?
