“…In addition to psychiatric disorders, other risk factors for suicide or suicidal ideation (SI) in adults include a history of self-harm or suicide attempts (Cavanagh et al, 2003) (Hawton & van Heeringen, 2009), suicidal thoughts (Coryell & Young, 2005) (Fawcett et al, 1990), a family history of suicide (Brent et al, 1988) (Hawton & van Heeringen, 2009) (Oquendo et al, 1997)(Roy, 1983) and increased levels of hopelessness (Fawcett et al, 1990) (Beck et al, 1985). Experiences of childhood physical abuse, sexual abuse and neglect are significantly associated with suicide attempts and thoughts of suicide in the general community (Fuller-Thomson et al, 2012) (McCauley et al, 1997) (Dube et al, 2001) (Joiner et al, 2007) (Enns et al, 2006) and in patients with major depressive disorders (Brown et al, 1999) (Brodsky et al, 2001) (McHolm et al, 2003) (Oquendo et al, 2005) (Widom et al, 2007).…”
