Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the demographic and clinical features of early and late adolescents attempted suicide. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to examine the clinical characteristics of adolescents who attempted suicide and presented to our Emergency Department (ED) from January 2009 to December 2011. Patients were divided into two groups; Group 1 consisted of early adolescents (10-14 years) and Group 2 consisted of late adolescents (15-18 years). Results: A total of 22 (34%) patients were early adolescents and 42 (66%) were late adolescents. Thirty-one (48%) of the 64 patients were male, and 33 (52%) were female (p=0.730). We found a statistically significant difference between early and late adolescents in time to ED admission (p<0.001), length of stay (p=0.040), having parents who were divorced or had a history of multiple marriages (p<0.001), prior suicide attempts (p<0.001), lower economic status (p=0.013), and mortality rate (p=0.008). Self cutting and expressed dissatisfaction with their bodies were significantly more common in late adolescents (p<0.001, p=0.006, respectively). Conclusion: Some families may be inadequate for the normal development of children. Psychological and social support units must be installed by governments. (JAEM 2013; 12: 185-8)

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the emotional perspective of having Dyslexia, a specific learning difficulty that not only affects literacy but many aspects of an individual's life, from childhood into adulthood. This paper investigates negative emotional coping which took place, which included self-harming with: alcohol, food, body injury, suicide thoughts and suicidal attempts. Method:The sample of N=29 diagnosed developmental dyslexics (N=22 with prior diagnosis of depression) were interviewed with a semi-structured script with a wide ranging script spanning childhood and adulthood experience. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to analyse the data into themes.Results: Self-harm was greater in the depressive to non-depressive sample; however, the type of self-harm varied. Males and non-depressives tended to predominantly self-harm with alcohol, followed by food and then rarely with bodily harm, whereas females in general, tended to predominantly self-harm with food, then bodily harm and lastly alcohol. Overall depressives self-harmed predominantly with food and then equally between alcohol and bodily-harm. Conclusion:Each group had their own profile and suggests that self-harm is a complex issue, with self-harm activities happening both in child and adulthood.

Self-harming behavior typically occurs at late adolescence period.…”

“…Although DSH can be serious and a predictor of suicide (9), few patients apply to a professional institution (1,10). High risk factors for apparent suicidal attempt in DSH are presence of strong suicidal ideas, absence of comorbid psychiatric disease and utilization of a highly deadly method (2,4).…”
