Researchers from New York University analyzed over 100 studies on public policies related to suicide prevention and found that three categories of policies can reduce suicide rates: limiting access to means of suicide, increasing access to mental health services, and addressing underlying risk factors such as poor wages and unemployment. The strongest evidence suggests that improving economic security, limiting access to alcohol, and restricting access to lethal means of suicide are effective in preventing suicides. Laws requiring a waiting period for gun purchases were found to be moderately effective at preventing suicides, particularly among young people.

The results showed that psilocybin-assisted therapy led to significant improvements in impulsivity, depression and vulnerability for up to six months after treatment. In a study involving 84 participants, those who received psilocybin therapy demonstrated greater openness and experienced positive emotions, with men showing an increase in positive emotions and women showing increased openness. The researchers noted that these results were observed in controlled therapeutic environments and emphasized the importance of using psilocybin under a doctor's supervision.
