Background Adolescents in Sweden experience more mental health problems and lower mental well-being than adolescents in other Nordic countries. According to the literature, one possible explanation may be differences in income inequality. The at-risk-of-poverty rate varies significantly across the Nordic countries, and the highest rate is found in Sweden. The aims of the study were to examine socioeconomic inequalities in subjective health complaints and life satisfaction among adolescents in the Nordic countries during 2002 − 2018 and to explore whether subjective health complaints and life satisfaction were related to income inequality in terms of the at-risk-of-poverty rate at the country level. Methods Data regarding 15-year-olds from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study from five survey rounds (2002 − 2018) were used (n = 41,148). The HBSC Symptoms Checklist and Cantril’s ladder were used as measures of subjective health complaints and life satisfaction, respectively. The Family Affluence Scale, the Perceived Family Wealth item and the at-risk-of-poverty rate in each country were used as measures of individual-level socioeconomic conditions and country-level income inequality. Statistical methods involved ANOVA, multiple linear regressions and multilevel regression analyses. Results Absolute and relative socioeconomic inequalities in both subjective health complaints and life satisfaction were found in all countries. Sweden showed average socioeconomic inequalities, Iceland the largest and Denmark the smallest. Country-level income inequality in terms of the at-risk-of-poverty rate was associated with a higher prevalence of subjective health complaints and lower levels of life satisfaction in all countries. Conclusion Socioeconomic inequalities in adolescent mental health and well-being persisted in Nordic countries in the 2000s. Increasing income inequality may have contributed to higher levels of SHC and lower LS in Sweden compared to the other Nordic countries. Policies improving families’ socioeconomic conditions and reducing income inequality at the country level are needed to improve and reduce inequalities in mental health and well-being among adolescents.

“…За сучасними дослідженнями, поєднання ДР з іншими коморбідними (поведінковими) порушеннями мають найвищий ризик несприятливих наслідків у віці до 24 років [1]. Так, виникнення соматоформних порушень з різноманітними та «тілесними скаргами» в підлітковому віці безпосередньо пов'язані з розвитком тривожно-депресивної симптоматики у ранньому дорослому віці [2]. Основною коморбідною або сукупною чи вторинною поведінковою патологією, що характерна для підліткового віку в усьому світі, є саморуйнівна поведінка (СрПв), а також суїцидальна поведінка як його частина [3].…”

“…According to modern research, the combination of DD with other comorbid (behavioral) disorders has the highest risk of adverse outcomes in the age at 24 years [1]. For example, the onset of somatoform disorders with various «bodily complaints» in adolescence is directly related to the development of anxiety and depressive symptoms in young adulthood [2]. Self-destructive behavior (SdB) and suicidal behavior as part of it is the main comorbid, cumulative, or secondary behavioral pathological characteristic of adolescence with DD [3].…”

Today, there is a trend of intentional self-harm, suicide and injury among teenagers. Doctors pay attention that among the reasons for this situation are the depressed state of society, cruelty and indifference in the family, maladjustment in the educational institution, low neuropsychological stability of children and young people, inability to constructively solve personal problems, lack of sustainable interests and interesting organized leisure time, impossibility self-expression and self-realization, etc. The comorbid combination of depressive disorders (DD) and self-destructive behavior (SDB) in adolescence is one of the most important and global problems of modern clinical psychiatry. The gender specifics of such an aggravating variant of DD in boys and girls requires additional research. The objective: to analyze the sexual characteristics of DD in a comorbid combination with SDB in youth. Materials and methods. In the pilot study 48 boys and girls aged 15–18 years with DD (according to ICD-10) and manifestations of SDB were examined in outpatient clinic, namely: 11 (22.91%) boys and 37 (77.08%) girls. The patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9) was used in the study. Results. According to the results of the study, patients were diagnosed with different variants of clinical syndromes of DD. The level of severity of DD had no gender characteristics. Such syndromes as hysterical-depressive, depressive-hypochondriac, depressive-dysphoric syndrome were found only in girls. At the same time, hysterical-depressive syndrome occurred most often – in 29.2% of all cases in both groups. The results of the study indicate a tendency towards the predominance of bisexual identification among girls (21.6%) compared to 9.1% among boys. Conclusions. It has been proven that in youth DD have 100% comorbidity with SDB. The presented clinical cases demonstrated severe DD in youth, taking into account gender characteristics. The significant predominance of depressive-obsessive and anxiety-depressive syndromes in young men is an important factor in the comorbid development of SDB (suicidal activity) in these patients.

IntroductionPrevious research has shown associations between parental problem drinking and adverse mental health outcomes in children. However, while many studies assess parental alcohol problems based on clinical measures, longitudinal studies that investigate the impact of potentially less severe levels of parental alcohol problems are scarce. The aim of this study was to examine if the existence and severity of child‐reported parental problem drinking in adolescence is associated with symptoms of depression and anxiety in young adult men and women.MethodsData was obtained from the Swedish national cohort study Futura01, including 3143 participants born in 2001 who were surveyed in 2017 (age 15–16) and 2022 (age 20–21). Parental problem drinking was measured at age 15–16 with the short version of The Children of Alcoholics Screening Test. Depression and anxiety symptoms were measured at age 20–21 with the Patient Health Questionnaire‐4. Registry information on gender, parental education and parental country of birth were included as covariates.ResultsThe results demonstrated an exposure‐response pattern, with greater severity of parental problem drinking associated with an increased probability of reporting depression and anxiety symptoms 5 years later. The association between parental problem drinking and subsequent depression symptoms was however present only in females.Discussion and ConclusionsAdolescents exposed to parental problem drinking have elevated risks of long‐term adverse mental health. These risks increase with greater severity of parental problem drinking. It is thus crucial with efforts preventing parental problem drinking and efforts promoting health among children and adolescents who are exposed.
