“…Two thirds of our sample were females. Many previous studies have demonstrated higher rates of suicide attempts in females (54%–69%) (Lecrubier, 2001; Rihmer et al, 2006); the rates of first suicide attempt in our study were consistent with those findings. The reported female/male ratio of completed suicide (Altindaǧ et al, 2005) was also similar to values reported in this present study; however, the patients included in our study were serious cases admitted to intensive care units, and the number of females between the ages of 15–24 years was higher compared to males, which could explain higher rates of completed suicides in this geographical region.…”

“…Prospective studies have also demonstrated that previous suicide attempts increase the risk of future suicidal gestures (Oquendo, Currier, & Mann, 2006; Zweig & Hinrichsen, 1993). In particular, past history of a suicide attempt(s) with an accompanying untreated mood disorder are strong determinants of future completed suicides (Gibb, Beautrais, & Fergusson, 2005; Rihmer et al, 2006; Suominen et al, 2004). Therefore, examining the suicide attempt may serve to help understand and prevent future completed suicides.…”

Our objective was to elucidate potential causes of higher rates of suicide attempts in females compared to males in southeastern Turkey through a 1-year survey. Gender-related differences observed in 96 subjects who attempted suicide by poisoning for the first time were as follows: in comparison to male, females were predominantly within the age interval of 15-24 years, experienced more stressful events in the previous week before suicide attempt, had lower education level, and had a lower rate of employment. One year after the suicide attempt, unfavorable attitude of family, lack of support, persisting unfavorable lifestyle comparable with that prior to the first attempt, and higher rates of domestic violence were more pronounced in females compared to males. These findings might be contributing factors to the higher suicide attempt rates observed in females compared to the males.

“…Rihmer et al [95] reported 46% anxiety disorders and 27% substance use disorder partly in the same patient population at a later point of time and presented 60% multiple comorbidities with 2 or 3 disorders occurring concurrently with the above-mentioned diagnoses. Adolescent clinical studies regularly find a high prevalence of major depression and substance use (drug Table 3.…”

Profiles of Suicidality and Clusters of Hungarian Adolescent Outpatients Suffering from Suicidal Behaviour

Background: The aim of the study was to reveal the background dimensions of suicidal behaviour (SB) and to identify clusters of Hungarian adolescent outpatients suffering from suicidality by means of the following correlates of SB: depression, inadequate conflict-solving methods, dysfunctional attitudes, maladaptive coping, help-seeking strategies and negative life events. Sampling and Methods: A self-report test battery was completed by every consecutive new adolescent outpatient from a representative patient pool of 5 local child psychiatric centres in Western Hungary over an 18-month period (n = 644). The questionnaires used were the pilot version of the Columbia Depression Scale, the Hungarian standard versions of the Beck Depression Inventory, the Ways of Coping Questionnaire, the Dysfunctional Attitude Scale and the Junior High Life Experiences Survey. A total of 110 adolescent outpatients (88 females, 22 males, mean age = 16.21 years, SD = 1.38) suffering from SB were included in the study. All diagnoses including SB were confirmed by the MINI Plus Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview. K means clustering was used to compare variances of 19 variables to decide which ones are the major criteria for assigning subjects to clusters, and principal component analysis was utilized to identify background SB dimensions in the patient sample. Results: The cluster analysis identified 3 homogenous clusters differentiating suicidal adolescents characteristically: ‘stress-laden/medium depressive’, ‘low depressive/low achievement’ and ‘high depressive’ cluster groups. While cluster analysis confirmed the role of the severity of depression only, principal component analysis explored the following 4 underlying profiles of SB: stress-laden, dysfunctional, maladaptive and depressive/risky factors. Conclusions: Although important coping qualities failed to register as major criteria in the development of separate groups of suicidal adolescent outpatients, distinct background profiles of SB among Hungarian adolescents were found covering the risk groups according to clinical experience. Future research is warranted to identify possible variation in the coping strategies among different adolescent suicidal samples.

“…Furthermore, as many as two-thirds of people with depression reports suicidal ideation, 10-15% commit suicide and 60-70% suicide victims have had severe depression before completed suicide (Woo et al 2014). Regardless the decline in suicide mortality, in majority of countries with high baseline suicide rates, suicidal behavior still manifests among patients with mood disorders in state-dependent order (Latalova et al 2014, Rihmer et al 2006, Suominen et al 2004). …”
