Individual and area-level risk factors for suicidal ideation and attempt in people with severe depression

Abstract

The variation in risk for suicidal ideation and attempt among severely depressed individuals is explained by differences in individual socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, most notably past psychiatric admission and substance misuse, and not by area-level measures.

Dehydroepiandrosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels in combat veterans with or without a history of suicide attempt

“…A trend toward higher total MADRS scores among attempters in comparison with non‐attempters observed in our study is also consistent with multiple reports that depression is associated with suicidal ideations . It is important to note that depression is also strongly associated with suicide attempts and completed suicides .…”

Risk factors for concurrent suicidal ideation and violent impulses in military veterans.

“…Although suicidal ideation and violent impulses have been shown to be strong predictors of suicidal and violent behavior respectively, the current study is limited to making interpretations about variables serving as proxies for actual harm to self or others. Research, especially for self-harm, shows that risk factors for ideation and behavior, may differ (Werbeloff, Markou, Hayes, Pitman, & Osborn, 2016). Thus, it is unknown whether the factors examined relate to actual suicide attempts or violent behavior.…”
