Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Selection of the most effective treatments for mental health disorders is still largely based on subjective symptom detection. In this context, the systematic implementation of evidence-based diagnostic methods could significantly assist mental health professionals in more efficiently identifying neurobehavioral anomalies and suitable therapeutic targets, potentially reducing the patient suffering induced by the current trial-and-error approach.

Emerging technology now allows for the identification of affective disorders such as depression, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder through the combined use of computerized diagnostic batteries, artificial intelligence and comparisons against normative templates, which can potentially enhance the disease categorization process and therefore promote the development of more effective therapeutic interventions.

The aim of this Special Issue is to describe and encourage the utilization of electroencephalography (EEG) in mental health practice. We welcome original research studies as well as reviews attempting to identify and discuss imbalances in the EEG waveform that mental health professionals can familiarize themselves with and systematically consider to more confidently and comprehensively assess complex neurobehavioral syndromes.

Abstract
Suicide is a global phenomenon that impacts individuals, families, and communities from all income groups and all regions worldwide.

Suicide is a global phenomenon that impacts individuals, families, and communities from all income groups and all regions worldwide. While it can be prevented if personalized interventions are implemented, more objective and reliable diagnostic methods are needed to complement interview-based risk assessments. In this context, electroencephalography (EEG) might play a key role. We systematically reviewed EEG resting state studies of adults with suicide ideation (SI) or with a history of suicide attempts (SAs). After searching for relevant studies using the PubMed and Web of Science databases, we applied the PRISMA method to exclude duplicates and studies that did not match our inclusion criteria. The selection process yielded seven studies, which suggest that imbalances in frontal and left temporal brain regions might reflect abnormal activation and correlate with psychological distress. Furthermore, asymmetrical activation in frontal and posterior cortical regions was detected in high-risk depressed persons, although the pattern in the frontal region was inverted in non-depressed persons. The literature reviewed suggests that SI and SA may be driven by separate neural circuits and that high-risk persons can be found within non-depressed populations. More research is needed to develop intelligent algorithms for the automated detection of high-risk EEG anomalies in the general population. Full article
