The Prevalence and Incidence of Suicidal Thoughts and Behavior in a Smartphone-Delivered Treatment Trial for Body Dysmorphic Disorder: Cohort Study Background: Background: People with past suicidal thoughts and behavior (STB) are often excluded from #Digital #MentalHealth intervention (DMHI) treatment trials. This may perpetuate barriers to care and reduce treatment generalizability, especially in populations with elevated rates of STB, like body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). We conducted a randomized controlled trial (RCT, N = 80) of a smartphone-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for BDD that allowed for most forms of past STB except for past-month active suicidal ideation. Objective: Objective: This study had two objectives: to (1) characterize the sample’s lifetime prevalence of STB, and (2) estimate and predict STB incidence during the trial. Methods: Methods: We completed secondary analyses on data from an RCT of smartphone-delivered CBT for BDD. The primary outcomes consisted of STB severity and suicide attempt assessed at baseline with the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) and weekly during the trial via one item from the Quick Inventory of #depressive Symptomatology—Self Report (QIDS-SR item #12; 1,043 observations). We computed descriptive statistics (M, %) and ran a series of bi- and multivariate linear regressions predicting STB incidence during the three-month trial. Results: Results: At baseline, 40% of participants reported lifetime history of active suicidal thoughts and 10% reported lifetime suicide attempts. During the three-month trial, 42.5% reporting thinking about death- and/or suicide via weekly assessment. No participants reported frequent/acute suicidal thoughts, plans, or attempts. Lifetime suicide attempt (OR = 11.0, p < .01) and lifetime severity of suicidal thoughts (OR = 1.76, p < .01) were significant bivariate predictors of death-/suicide-related thought incidence reported during the trial. Multivariate models including STB risk factor covariates (e.g., age, sexual orientation) modestly improved prediction of death-/suicide-related thoughts (e.g., PPV = .91, NPV = .75, AUC =.83). Conclusions: Conclusions: Although some participants may think about death and/or suicide during a DMHI trial, it may be safe and feasible to include participants with most forms of past STB. Among other procedures, researchers should carefully select eligibility criteria, use frequent, ongoing, low-burden, and valid monitoring procedures, and implement risk mitigation protocols tailored to the presenting problem.

body dysphoria – mhapi 2024 what do i look like?

Whether people realize it or not, #bodydysphoria is something we all feel as some point. It may not reach the level of #bodydysmorphicdisorder but how can we not question our appearance in today's social media climate?

I process my struggles through #poetry and keep #mentalhealth in the spotlight.

Today, I am ignoring the weekly reminder on my phone to "check weight." In fact, I may get rid of it altogether. #mentalhealth #bodydysmorphicdisorder
