At the pace of the pandemic, of confinements, of an anxiety-inducing climate, mental health has ostensibly become a social issue, a collective stake. Long considered taboo in France, confined behind the walls of psychiatry, it is now the subject of regular surveys of the general population, and front-page news. French public opinion seems to be gradually embracing the WHO's concept that "there is no health without mental health". In January 2022, the buzz came from the TF1 news, where singer Stromae spoke about psychic fragility and suicide while performing his text entitled Les Enfers live.
The media coverage of the deterioration of mental health and the increase in the number of suicides are a matter of intimate or public concern, now receiving increased attention from public authorities.
In this context, at the recent Encéphale Congress and just a few hours before the National Suicide Prevention Day, presenting the Neuroimaging-informed phenotypes of suicidal behavior project led by researcher Fabricio Pereira is of real interest. Mobilizing more than a million core hours of GENCI's Occigen supercomputer, hosted and operated by CINES, the results of this project will soon be published.
