Call for Papers for Special Issue on "NSSI and Suicide in Child and Adolescents"

The Journal of the Korean Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (JKACAP) calls for papers related to "NSSI and Suicide in child and adolescent" (Section Editor: Taeyoung Choi, MD, PhD. Department of Psychiatry, Catholic University of Daegu).

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a deliberate and intentional act of harming one's own body. The global prevalence of NSSI among adolescents and young adults was estimated to be around 17%. NSSI is often a coping mechanism for individuals who are experiencing overwhelming emotional pain or distress, and they use self-injury as a way to release or alleviate those feelings.

NSSI and Suicide may seem similar, there are important differences between the two behaviors. NSSI is intentional harm to oneself without the intent to die, whereas suicide involves intentionally ending one's life.

However, there is a significant overlap between NSSI and suicide. Individuals who engage in NSSI are at a higher risk of suicide than those who do not engage in self-injury. Studies have shown that individuals who engage in NSSI are up to 10 times more likely to die by suicide than the general population. Still, there are gaps in understanding these two phenomena which threaten both physical and mental health of child and adolescents.

In the current special issue, we invite articles can help to expand our knowledge of the Biology, Social factor, Psychology, and Executive function related with NSSI and Suicide, Submission of Original article and literature reviews are welcomed to this issue.
