Psychiatry and Mental Health

Summary of activities

In 2025, the Group published numerous scientific articles in peer-reviewed indexed journals, primarily focused on suicide prevention, depression, schizophrenia, artificial intelligence, and the analysis of complex datasets. In addition, the Group secured several competitive grants and research projects. Among these, particular emphasis should be placed on the project "SMARTomicS: Suicide Prevention through Therapeutic Interventions Guided by Digital Phenotyping and Pharmacogenetics", funded under the Research Projects for the Implementation of Personalised Precision Medicine Programme. This project aims to develop innovative strategies for suicide prevention by integrating digital phenotyping tools and pharmacogenetic approaches to support more personalised and effective clinical interventions.

Contributions to society

The Group has contributed to the development of clinical guidelines on suicidal behaviour and has actively participated in research project evaluation committees. In addition, Group members have been involved in public outreach and science communication activities aimed at reducing the stigma associated with mental disorders, particularly that surrounding suicide.

Through these initiatives, the Group seeks to promote awareness, improve mental health literacy, support evidence-based clinical practice, and encourage a more informed and compassionate societal response to mental health conditions and suicidal behaviour
