“…Posner and colleagues (2002) suggest that deficits on attentional conflict tasks may be characteristic of conditions where emotional dysregulation and suicide risk is prominent, such as Borderline Personality Disorder. These deficits are apparent on Stroop tasks (LeGris and van Reekum, 2006). Our data are consistent with this hypothesis, but suggest these deficits are most pronounced among those with a past history of suicidal behavior -even among those without BPD.…”

Attention is typically impaired in depression and may play a role in risk for suicidal behavior. In this study, 66 non-patients, 83 depressed subjects with no past history of suicide attempt, 53 depressed subjects with one or more low lethality suicide attempts, and 42 depressed subjects with at least one high lethality attempt were compared on two computerized measures of attention, a Continuous Performance Test (CPT) and a Stroop task. All subjects were medication free at the time of assessment. Attention was impaired in all depressed subjects but worse in those with a past history of suicidal behavior. CPT performance did not differ among the groups, but Stroop interference was significantly poorer in all depressed subjects relative to non-patients, and poorer still in high lethality suicide attempters relative to all other groups. Interference score correlated modestly with subjective depression, functional level, suicide ideation, number of past suicide attempts, and lethality of past attempts. Depression-related impairments of attention, especially susceptibility to interference, are accentuated in those with a past history of suicidal behavior. Fundamental deficits in attention control may play a role in risk for suicidal behavior, and may contribute to a variety of cognitive deficits in suicidal patients. Brain mechanisms subserving attention control, which overlap considerably with regions implicated in affective disorders, may be a useful target for studies seeking to characterize neuropsychological factors associated with suicidal behavior.

“…Entretanto, não houve correlação significativa entre ideação suicida e tal função cognitiva no grupo de dependente, exceto no que diz respeito ao número de ensaios administrados, o qual mostrou-se positivamente relacionado. Esse resultado não é corroborado na literatura, na qual mostra que o pensamento suicida associado à dependência de substâncias psicoativas interfere intensamente no desempenho para resolver problemas (Marzuk et al, 2005), sendo que os processos afetivos e reflexivos envolvidos nas funções do lobo frontal em sobreposição à rigidez cognitiva podem influenciar a expressão recorrente do comportamento suicida (Legris & van Reekum, 2006).…”

This study aimed to compare men with substance use disorders and those who are no addicted/non-dependent on drugs in terms of their executive functions, emotional and behavioral expressions giving particular emphasis on the presence of suicidal ideation. The sample consisted of 25 individuals with substance use disorders and 25 non-dependent individuals. The data collection consisted of a questionnaire including sociodemographic and health data, the Diagnostic Interview (MINI-Plus), the Anger Expression Inventory -State and Trait (STAXI), the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (I-BIS11), the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) and the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSI). The data revealed that the substance dependent individuals showed no significant cognitive impairment, fact that does not math with the literature. However, they presented alterations with respect to impulsivity and expression of anger.

“…However, it also possible to observe the phenomenon in individuals without such disorders, or with disorders that currently cannot be formally diagnosed, such as borderline PD [70]. It is more likely that such individuals have other primary or secondary difficulties including low drive or below average cognitive skills.…”
