Description

Tyler Pia and five colleagues published a psychiatry study in two thousand twenty-five on suicide risk in schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Suicide is common in these conditions. Acting rashly under strong negative emotion, called negative urgency, may help flag risk but is rarely studied with brain data.

Thirty adults classed as high or low risk were analysed with a sparse machine learning method. A first model using symptoms and traits found hostility, guilt, and negative urgency predicted high risk, while abstract thinking difficulty predicted lower risk. Adding brain measures kept hostility and brought in frontal region activity and cingulate thickness. The authors present the combined model as a step toward circuitry-based risk flags. The sample was small.
