Mental Disorder in Elderly Suicides: A Case-Control Study

TL;DR: The findings of this study suggest that elderly individuals who commit suicide represent a heterogeneous group with regard to mental disorders, implying a need for differentiated prevention strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Infections in the CNS during childhood and the risk of subsequent psychotic illness: a cohort study of more than one million Swedish subjects.

TL;DR: Serious viral CNS infections during childhood appear to be associated with the later development of schizophrenia and nonaffective psychoses, and the association with specific viruses suggests that the risk is related to infectious agents with a propensity to invade the brain parenchyma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Decline in cognitive performance between ages 13 and 18 years and the risk for psychosis in adulthood: a Swedish longitudinal cohort study in males

TL;DR: An impairment of late neurodevelopment affecting the acquisition of verbal skills in adolescent boys and young men who later develop psychosis is suggested, and a relative decline in verbal ability between ages 13 and 18 years is a stronger predictor of psychosis than verbal ability at age 18 years alone.
Journal ArticleDOI

School performance and risk of suicide in early adulthood: follow-up of two national cohorts of Swedish schoolchildren

TL;DR: Good performance in secondary (age 16) and upper secondary school is associated with a reduced risk of suicide in men but not women, and this protective effect is not seen amongst those who develop severe psychiatric illness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alcohol use disorders and risk of Parkinson's disease: findings from a Swedish national cohort study 1972-2008

TL;DR: A history of an alcohol use disorder conferred an increased risk of admission with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease in both women and men, and the risk seemed higher at lower ages of first admission with Parkinson's disease.
