ConclusionsExperiencing intrusive imagery about pain is common, but its presence or absence appears to have no direct relationship on pain intensity or disability.

Perspectives from the Autism Community on the Potential Utility of a Novel Measure of Suicide Risk and Mental Health Symptoms for Autistic Youth: A Pilot Study
AbstractBecause autistic youth experience increased suicide risk and there are no suicide risk screening tools for this population, existing measures need to be evaluated and then modified with input from the autism community. This pilot study obtained feedback from autistic youth, caregivers, and autism specialist clinicians (N = 14) on the applicability of a novel measure of suicide and mental health symptoms, theKiddie-Computerized Adaptive Test (K-CAT) scales, for use with autistic youth. While impressions were largely positive and several features support its use, participants identified several concerns that warr...

Bipolar Disorder is associated with high rates of suicidal thoughts, behaviors, and outcomes, yet the lived experience of suicidality and Bipolar Disorder is not particularly well understood. Understanding the role of psychosocial aetiologies in suicidality outcomes for those living with Bipolar Disorder is key for developing appropriately targeted interventions focusing on factors that are amenable to change. In line with PRISMA guidance, we conducted a scoping review to identify the types of psychosocial factors studied in relation to the experience of suicidality for people living with Bipolar Disorder diagn...

Magnetic Seizure Therapy vs Electroconvulsive Therapy for Major Depressive Episode
To the Editor Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is widely regarded as the most effective short-term treatment for major depressive episodes, including treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Deng et al recently reported in JAMA Psychiatry the Clinical Outcomes of Magnetic Seizure Therapy (MST) vs ECT for Major Depressive Episode study, finding that the efficacy of ECT and MST were “indistinguishable.” Expanding the interventions considered effective in TRD is welcome, given the dire need. However, the ECT remission rate after short-term treatment was exceptionally low, limiting confidence in the validity and/or generalizab...
