Background
Improving preventative interventions for self-harm and suicide-related behaviour is a mental health policy priority. Existing evidence-based interventions can be lengthy, resource-heavy, difficult to access, and are not always acceptable or effective. Extending support through brief and remotely delivered interventions...

ObjectiveWe investigate the correlates of climate change anxiety and anticipatory climate disaster stress, as well as the nature...
Background
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is an effective non-pharmacological, non-invasive intervention for depression. However, the optimal strategy for localising the DLPFC treatment site on the patient's scalp is heavily disputed. Routine strategies...
