Informal caregiving for relatives and friends is a common experience in mid-and later-life that creates both opportunities and challenges for mental health and well-being. Caregiving can foster experiences that are beneficial to mental health, including increased purpose and feelings of mastery, but can also lead to poor mental health, including symptoms of anxiety and depression, as well as development of wishes for death and thoughts of suicide (ie, passive and active suicide ideation)(National Academies of Sciences and Medicine, 2021). Data suggest that these negative mental health outcomes may have been exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic, with family caregivers being significantly more likely to experience serious suicidal thoughts during the pandemic compared to non-caregivers (Czeisler et al., 2020).In this issue, Zwar et al.(2023) present results from a longitudinal analysis of data from the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), with a focus on transitions into caregiving roles and the development of passive suicide ideation (thoughts of being better off dead) among adults in mid-and later-life (ie, age 50 or older). They found increased likelihood of developing passive suicide ideation among adults who became caregivers inside the household (providing support for activities of daily living) compared to those providing care outside the household. They also found increased likelihood of developing passive suicide ideation for those living in welfare systems that provide less comprehensive supports. As well, those providing care to parents (versus partners) inside the household had greater likelihood of reporting passive suicide ideation. These results are important because they identify conditions under which passive suicide ideation is more likely to occur during the transition to caregiving. This knowledge can identify at-risk sub-groups and suggest
