Scientists test if feeling like a machine increases suicide thoughts

NCT ID NCT06710964

Summary

This study aims to understand if feeling less than human (self-dehumanization) is a new risk factor for suicidal thoughts. Researchers will test 50 adults by having one group imagine a futuristic scenario where they are likened to a machine, while a control group does not. They will measure changes in suicidal thoughts and a brain chemical called oxytocin to see if there's a link.
