Introduction Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a disorder of pervasive emotion dysregulation associated with high rates of self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITB). Understanding specific emotion states in relation to SITB is important for effective intervention. Methods The current study examined whether, and how, the specific emotion of shame contributes to suicide ideation and urges to […]

The current study examined the potential bi-directional associations between urges to die by suicide and to use alcohol or drugs as well as sadness and anger in relation to these urges. Forty individuals with suicidal thoughts, binge drinking behaviors, and emotion regulation difficulties, who were recruited for a clinical trial of internet-delivered Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills training, completed daily diaries on suicide and […]

Objective: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a significant mental health concern with the highest prevalence among adolescents. NSSI has been conceptualized as one of the maladaptive strategies to cope with challenging affect or a form of self-punishment. Although characterizing moment-to-moment associations between shame and NSSI in individuals’ real-world environment and partitioning between- and within-person effects is critical […]

Suicide is the most serious mental health crisis, being the second leading cause of death after accidents in those under the age of 34. As a secondary analysis of a grounded theory study, unlike studies previous, this constant comparative analysis seeks to assess differences in those who attempt suicide multiple times versus those who merely […]

Objective Suicide is consistently within the top ten leading causes of death in the United States. The suicide rate of National Guard personnel is elevated relative to the general population; however, research suggests that many of the suicide risk factors for military personnel are similar to the suicide risk factors for civilians. We examined whether […]

Introduction Little is known about the epidemiology of aggressive outbursts, including physical assault, property destruction, and verbal aggression, among adults with unipolar Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Methods We examined the prevalence and correlates of aggressive outbursts among adults with primary MDD (N = 2539) from the Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiological Surveys (N = 20,013) using generalized linear models. Results The prevalence estimate of any aggressive outbursts […]

Suicide is among the leading causes of death in the United States, with rates having risen substantially over the past two decades. Anger is a common symptom of several disorders associated with suicide, and the little research that has been done in the area suggests that it may be an often overlooked transdiagnostic risk factor […]

Objectives: Veterans are at particular risk for suicide due to psychopathological, emotional, and interpersonal risk factors. However, the presence of individual-level protective factors, such as self-compassion, may reduce risk, becoming more salient at increasing levels of distress and psychopathology, per theory. We examined the relation between self-compassion and suicide risk, and the moderating effects of […]

Suicidal ideation and behaviour are common among inmates. Anger is found at exaggerated levels and has been associated with suicidal ideation and behaviour in inmate samples suggesting its possible salience in the prediction of suicide. The study investigated relationships between anger, psychological distress, and self-harm/suicidal ideation among inmates. Elucidating the temporal nature of the relationship […]

Anger is often associated with poor physical and mental health, including suicidal behaviour. Anger expression is typically conceptualised as inward or outward-directed, with each mode of expression having potentially different aetiologies and health manifestations. Individual characteristics such as religion or spirituality may buffer against the effects of anger. One such characteristic, forgiveness, is the voluntary […]

This study tested a structural model to explain the relationship between the predictor variables of trait anger, anger suppression, entrapment, psychosomatic symptoms, depression, & resilience & the dependent variable of suicide ideation. Data were collected from a convenience sample of 11,393 Korean students. Trait anger, entrapment, psychosomatic symptoms, depression, & resilience had a direct effect […]

This instrumental study examined gender differences of school anger components & its prediction for suicidal behaviour. 1418 high school students were selected through stratified random sampling in Shiraz. Girls experienced anger more than boys but hostility was higher in boys. There was no gender difference regarding positive coping expression of anger or destructive coping expression. […]

Drawing on Agnew’s general strain theory, the authors examined whether depressed mood & anger mediated the effects of sexual abuse on suicidal behaviour & delinquency. Participants included 9,113 students attending high school in Iceland. Structural equation modelling showed that, while controlling for family structure & parental education, being exposed to strain in the form of […]

This study explores the relationships among 4 factors of maladjustment (emotional distress, negative self, antisocial behaviour, & anger control problems) & suicide ideation in 271 Singaporean adolescents. Findings indicate emotional distress, negative self-concept, & antisocial behaviour signficantly predicted suicide ideation for the whole sample. Beta weight is largest for emotional distress, followed by negative self, […]

To evaluate the relationship between plasma serotonin levels & psychometric measures in suicidal adolescents versus controls, 211 Israeli adolescents were divided into 4 groups: 35 suicidal psychiatric inpatients; 30 nonsuicidal psychiatric inpatients; 51 adolescents referred to the emergency room after an attempt; & 95 community-based controls. Plasma serotonin levels were significantly lower in the control […]
