Mental health among young people is in a crisis, with the number of youth suicides increasing worldwide. By taking advantage of one of the world's largest genome/epigenome data of young suicides and the world's first in-vivo human brain AMPA-PET technology, the speakers in this symposium successfully discovered new preliminary findings, such as accelerated biological aging and an aberrant increase in AMPA receptor density throughout the brain in young people exposed to abuse and suicide risk. The speakers are also working on a project to recover the mental health of young people at risk of mental health through new care platforms such as “metaverse schools”. This symposium will also introduce the current state of youth mental health in Thailand, and will develop a discussion from a global perspective that goes beyond Japan.
