Description
Mehmet Sıddık Vangölü and two colleagues examined in 2026 how mental flexibility connects childhood events to suicidal thoughts in young adults. They surveyed 559 people aged 18 to 24 on adverse and positive childhood events, suicidal thoughts, and flexibility.
Adverse experiences tracked higher suicidal thoughts, positive experiences tracked lower ones, and flexibility tracked lower thoughts as well. Flexibility partly explained the links from both kinds of childhood event to suicidal thoughts. Since past events cannot be changed, the authors point to flexibility as the practical target, with acceptance work a promising route to lower risk.
