“…Shneidman (1993) stated that suicide-related risk factors could only predict suicide through psychache. Previous studies revealed the relationship between psychache and suicide in patients with depression (Demirkol et al, 2018), bipolar disorder (Demirkol et al, 2020), schizophrenia (Demirkol et al, 2019a), and OCD (Demirkol et al, 2019b). Kanwar et al (2013) reported that people with anxiety attempt suicide to reduce or escape psychological stress.…”

Although generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is associated with suicide, not all dimensions of this relationship have been addressed. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between psychache and anxiety sensitivity with suicidality in patients with GAD. We included 80 patients with GAD (17 of whom had previous suicide attempts). The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAM-D), Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSIS), Psychache Scale (PS), and Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 (ASI) were applied to the participants. The patients with previous suicide attempts had significantly higher scores on ASI total, ASI-physical and cognitive subdimensions, HAM-A total and psychic subscale, PS, and BSIS than those without ( p < 0.05 for each). Mediation analyses revealed that psychache was a full mediator in the relationship between ASI-cognitive subdimension and suicidal ideation. Therapeutic interventions for anxiety sensitivity and psychache in patients with GAD will help reduce the risk of suicide.

“…The authors have tested the MBPPAS in a sample of patients with depression ( 58 ) or substance use disorder ( 59 ) and in a sample of suicidal veterans ( 60 ). In a Turkish study on patients with mood disorders, the MBPPAS showed a good internal consistency ( 61 ).…”

“…As many authors have discussed, the validation process of the measurement tools for psychological pain is challenging due to lack of a gold standard. Some authors have used discriminative validity, differentiating healthy controls and patients ( 55 ) ( 61 ), ideators and non-ideators, and suicide attempter and non-attempters ( 44 , 55 ), convergent validity (with measures of depression or anxiety) ( 44 , 55 , 58 , 61 ), and, more rarely, concurrent validity methods ( 61 ). For example, Demirkol et al ( 61 )found the correlation between MBPPAS and PAS in patients with depression to be only 0.484.…”

Despite accumulation of clinical research on risk factors for suicidal process, understanding of the mechanisms and pathways underlying the emergence of suicidal thoughts and their progression to acts is insufficient. The suicidal process has been conceptualized in multiple psychological theories that have aimed to shed light on the interplay of contributing factors. One of the central concepts included in both the cubic model of suicide and the three-step theory of suicide is psychological pain (mental pain or psychache). Over the two last decades, interest in psychological pain has increased considerably, particularly since the discovery of the complex link between the pain processing system and the neurobiology of suicide, and the putative antisuicidal effect of buprenorphine. Growing evidence supports the association between experiencing psychological pain and suicidal ideation and acts in both clinical and non-clinical samples. However, many questions related to the concept of psychological pain and its role in prediction of suicidal behavior remain to be answered in future research. In this narrative review, we have outlined the history of the concept, the definition of psychological pain, and the tools developed for its measurement, summarized the empirical research on psychological pain in relation to suicidal behavior, and suggested future directions for clinical research on psychological pain and suicidal behavior.

Purpose: Suicide is an important cause of death in patients diagnosed with obsessivecompulsive disorder (OCD) as well as other psychiatric disorders. Early determining of risk factors provides an opportunity for intervention. The mediating effect of psychological pain (also known as psychache) on suicide has been shown in various disorders but has not been investigated in patients with OCD. In this study, we aimed to show the relationship between psychological pain and other clinical variables and suicide in OCD patients. Patients and methods: This cross-sectional study consisted of 67 patients diagnosed with OCD according to DSM-5 criteria with no comorbid psychiatric diagnosis who applied to the psychiatric outpatient clinic of Çukurova University Faculty of Medicine and 63 healthy controls. Among the OCD patients, 12 had previous suicide attempts. In addition to the sociodemographic data form, participants filled out the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (YBOCS), the Psychache Scale (PS), the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSIS), and the Hamilton Depression Scale (HDS). Results: OCD group's median obsession, compulsion, and the total scores of YBOCS, and the mean PS scores were higher than the control group. There was no difference between the sociodemographic variables of OCD patients with and without previous suicide attempts such as age, gender, years of education, place of residence, marital, and occupational status. The median scores of obsession, avoidance, global severity, and indecisiveness subdimensions of YBOCS, the mean BSIS and PS scores, the rates of current aggressive, current contamination, and the past religious obsessions were higher in the suicidal group. There were moderately significant relationships in the same direction between the PS, BSIS, and total YBOCS scores. Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that only the PS scores predicted previous suicide attempts. Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that current aggressive, current contamination, past religious obsessions, and the higher psychological pain are related to previous suicide attempts in OCD patients. Our regression analysis supports Shneidman's hypothesis: there would be no suicide without psychache. Relieving psychache in OCD patients may reduce suicide attempts even if there is no diagnosis of comorbid depression.
