“…Sintomas associados a transtornos de ansiedade são particularmente responsivos à intervenção farmacológi-ca e psicoterapêutica precoce, sendo considerados "fatores de risco modificáveis" 14 . Thibodeau et al afirmam que indiví-duos com transtornos de ansiedade, como o TAG, possuem maior risco de suicídio, bem como mais tentativas, em relação àqueles sem transtornos de ansiedade 13 . Este estudo também demonstrou a importância do TAG no comportamento suicida, já que mais da metade dos pacientes com esse transtorno apresentou algum risco de suicídio (54,8%), resultado estatisticamente significativo (c 2 = 19,2; p < 0,01).…”

Dessa forma, reitera-se que baixo suporte social e prejuízo funcional, provocados pelo transtorno de ansiedade e alta comorbidade com transtorno depressivo, reforçam a ideia de risco aumentado de suicídio entre os pacientes com TAG 28 .…”

. results: GAD was present in 16.6% of the sample, which were 30.8% from the psychiatric unit and 11.3% in the outpatients of the other clinics. The majority were females (83.3%), married (53.8%), with a mean age of 44 (±12.2) years old. There was psychiatric comorbidity in 88.1% of the evaluated patients, of which 54.8% had two or more and 33.3% had only one. Major depression was the most prevalent (53.7%), followed by dysthymia (21.4%) and recurrent depression (14.6%). The risk of suicide was observed in 54.8% of subjects with GAD. Conclusion: The prevalence of GAD in outpatient clinical samples was significantly higher than in the general population, mainly in the psychiatric clinic. The majority of the patients presented psychiatric comorbidity, especially mood disorders besides presenting risk of suicide. GAD showed high correlation with mood disorders and significant association with risk of suicide.

Introduction: The issue of suicidal risk ,and suicide in general, represents one of the biggest challenges in psychiatric evaluation. This issue is covered by an extensive scientific work with the purpose of creating the most precise evaluation of suicide and suicide risk. Aim: The main goal of this research is to validate psychopatological constructs of a personality isolated by MMPI-a and HAMD in relation with measured suicidal rate among the subjects in question. Also, goal of this research is to explore possible connecitons beetween standard clinical and sociodemographic variables with rate of suicidality. Material and methods: The sample group consists of patients that are based on the stationary ward of a psychiatric clinic, diagnosed with F32 and F33. All the data was collected by interview, questionnaire and official medical documentation. The prediction variables are presented by the score on MMPI-202 and HAM-D, and standard clinical and sociodemographic variables. Criteria variables represent the score on SBQ-R, as a measure of suicidal tendencies, and a category variable which marks the presence of suicide attempts in the past. During the data analysis, the following methods were used: descriptive statistics, bivariate correlation, regression analysis, comparisment of arithmetic mean and canonical discriminant analysis. Results: The research showed a positive and significant correlation between suicidal tendencies and the scales of: depression, paranoia, schizophrenia, anxiety, social isolation, psychoastenia and the hospitalization count. The only one reliable predictor of suicidalty is depression. Conclusion:The research concludes that the psychopathological constructs, isolated by MMPI, are connected with suicidal tendencies. However, the conclusion is that further research is necessary in terms of determining the quality and way of the connections that are achieved between the test and the suicidality.

Mental disorders are a leading cause of disease burden worldwide, with anxiety disorders being the second most influential contributor, after depressive disorders, to global disabilityadjusted life-years. 1 Anxiety disorders are characterized by anxious mood and, often, phobic avoidance, which result in extreme distress, functional impairment, or both. 2,3 The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fifth Edition) (DSM-5) recognizes the following types of anxiety disorders likely to be seen in adults: generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia, specific phobias, substance/ medication-induced anxiety disorder, and anxiety disorder due to another medical condition. 4 The latter 2 instances of anxiety are caused by identifiable and, mostly, treatable sources and should be considered "rule-outs" before concluding that one of the other anxiety disorders is present.Anxiety disorders typically have onset early in life, hence the importance of screening for anxiety in children and adolescents when there is the opportunity to promptly intervene and prevent what can often be lifelong impairment. 5 There are
