TY - JOUR PY - 2024// TI - Non-fatal suicide behaviours: recommendations for addressing mental health [letter] JO - Lancet psychiatry A1 - González-Sanguino, Clara A1 - Ausín Benito, Berta A1 - Muñoz López, Manuel SP - 314 EP - 316 VL - 11 IS - 5 N2 - In The Lancet Psychiatry, Victor Serrano-Gimeno and colleagues report trends in non-fatal suicide behaviours in the population of Catalonia, Spain, before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The study shows a significant increase in the prevalence of non-fatal suicide behaviours during the easing of confinement restrictions and post-confinement period compared with the pre-confinement period. The authors cite the level of social distancing and support and economic challenges as possible explanations. In addition, the research highlights particularly vulnerable populations in whom non-fatal suicide behaviours are more prevalent, such as younger people and women.
