Research Update on the Neurobiology of Suicidal Behavior: Implications for Treatment

with Erin Hazlett, PhD


Veterans exhibit higher suicide risk compared with the general US population. Despite progress in understanding risk factors for suicidal behavior, the pathogenesis is poorly understood, including alterations in the neural circuitry underlying emotion dysregulation associated with suicidal behavior. This live, knowledge based virtual presentation for interprofessional healthcare teams will describe the latest findings on what we know about the neurobiology of suicidal behavior and ongoing work at the James J. Peters VA in this area, including novel treatment studies. This information will result in better Veteran care.

Program Description: 
The Mental Illness Research, Education and Clinical Centers (MIRECC) at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center in the Bronx is an international leader in research and treatment of Severe Mental Illness (SMI). The center pursues a discovery-to-recovery approach to determine the causes, identify predictors, and develop treatments for individuals with SMI, with emphasis on schizophrenia and suicide. The topics for this series consist of innovative treatments that we have created/tested and insights that have helped to develop that inform clinical care.
