About The Study: This study of 2,780 adolescents found that persistent withdrawn symptoms and increasing somatic symptoms during early to mid-adolescence were associated with an increased risk of suicidal thoughts in mid-adolescence, even after accounting for comorbid symptoms and confounders. Attention should be paid to the suicidal risk associated with these symptoms, particularly when they persist or increase in the longitudinal follow-up.
