OverviewAI-generated summary
Erick Messias's research focuses on mental health, with a particular emphasis on schizophrenia and suicidality. His work investigates the epidemiology of schizophrenia, exploring potential links to accelerated aging and the risk factors associated with it, including paternal age. Messias has also examined the comorbidity of medical illnesses among adults with serious mental illness and has explored the association between internet and video game overuse with sadness and suicide among adolescents.
His research methodology often involves systematic reviews and meta-analyses, as demonstrated by his work on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for Alzheimer's disease prevention and the meta-analysis of paternal age and schizophrenia risk. Messias has also contributed to understanding the correlates of teen suicidality in relation to bullying and cyberbullying. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 26, with over 109 publications and 3,890 citations.
