“…3 Untreated mental disorders may lead to substantial negative personal, family and social outcomes, 7 and increased health-care utilization. 8 Epidemiological data highlight adolescence as a significant period of risk for mental disorders and stress the need to address mental health concerns in adolescents. 9,10 Mental health literacy encompasses knowledge and skills that address the biological, psychological and social aspects of mental health to increase the understanding of mental health and mental disorders, reduce stigma, help recognize and prevent mental disorders, and facilitate help-seeking behaviours in youth along the pathway to mental health care.…”

Research into school-based mental health literacy is still in its infancy and there is insufficient evidence to claim for positive impact of school mental health literacy programs on knowledge improvement, attitudinal change or help-seeking behaviour. Future research should focus on methods to appropriately determine the evidence of effectiveness on school-based mental health literacy programs, considering the values of both RCTs and other research designs in this approach. Educators should consider the strengths and weaknesses of current mental health literacy programs to inform decisions regarding possible implementation.

“…It suggests that a proportion of health service use at age 30-40 years can be predicted from childhood behaviour independently of level of education and childhood poverty. 1 The authors have estimated that a reduction in the use of a variety of health services of about 5%-25% could be achieved by a reduction in childhood agression of one standard deviation. 1 Escalating health care costs mean that all western countries are having difficulty funding their health services.…”

“…6 I was curious, therefore, to find that the main solution on which Temcheff and colleagues focused was school-based -teaching children self care, stress management and impulse control. 1 There is good evidence that school-based programs can improve children's behaviour, 7 but the most important interventions to prevent and treat childhood behavioural problems are parenting programs. 8 Analysis of British cohort studies confirms that the quality of the parent-child relationship predicts health in adulthood.…”

Aggression is an evolutionary conserved behavior present in most species including humans. Inadequate aggression can lead to long-term detrimental personal and societal effects. Here, we differentiate between proactive and reactive forms of aggression and review the genetic determinants of it. Heritability estimates of aggression in general vary between studies due to differing assessment instruments for aggressive behavior (AB) as well as age and gender of study participants. In addition, especially non-shared environmental factors shape AB. Current hypotheses suggest that environmental effects such as early life stress or chronic psychosocial risk factors (e.g., maltreatment) and variation in genes related to neuroendocrine, dopaminergic as well as serotonergic systems increase the risk to develop AB. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of the genetics of human aggression based on twin studies, genetic association studies, animal models, and epigenetic analyses with the aim to differentiate between mechanisms associated with proactive or reactive aggression. We hypothesize that from a genetic perspective, the aminergic systems are likely to regulate both reactive and proactive aggression, whereas the endocrine pathways seem to be more involved in regulation of reactive aggression through modulation of impulsivity. Epigenetic studies on aggression have associated non-genetic risk factors with modifications of the stress response and the immune system. Finally, we point to the urgent need for further genome-wide analyses and the integration of genetic and epigenetic information to understand individual differences in reactive and proactive AB.
