The extent to which a family history of mood disorders and suicide could impact on clinical features of patients suffering from major depression (MD) and bipolar disorder (BD) has received relatively little attention so far. The aim of the present work is, therefore, to assess the clinical implications of the presence of at least one […]

There are meager prospective data from nonclinical samples on the link between anxiety disorders and suicide or the extent to which the association varies over time. We examined these issues in a cohort of 309,861 U.S. Air Force service members, with 227 suicides over follow-up. Mental disorder diagnoses including anxiety, mood, and substance-use disorders (SUD) […]

We present findings on the longitudinal relationships of religious worship attendance and seeking spiritual comfort with subsequent major depression, anxiety disorders and suicidal ideation/attempts using data from Waves 3 and 4 of the Baltimore Epidemiologic Catchment Area Study (N = 1091). Respondents who attended religious services at least once per year had decreased odds of […]

Previous work has suggested that anxiety disorders are associated with suicide attempts. However, many studies have been limited by lack of accounting for factors that could influence this relationship, notably personality disorders. This study aims to examine the relationship between anxiety disorders and suicide attempts, accounting for important comorbidities, in a large nationally representative sample

Evidence is mixed regarding an independent association between anxiety and suicidality in youth. Study 1 examined suicidal ideation in treatment-referred, anxiety-disordered youth (N = 312, aged 7Ð17). Forty-one percent of anxiety-disordered youth endorsed suicidal ideation. Anxiety disorder severity, global impairment, and current depressive symptoms predicted suicidal ideation in a multivariate model. Study 2 compared youth […]

A web-based survey was admininstered to a random sample of university students; depressive & anxiety disorders were assessed. The response rate was 56.6% (2,843 students). The estimated prevalence of any depressive or anxiety disorder was 15.6% for undergraduates & 13.0% for graduate students. Suicide ideation in the past 4 weeks was reported by 2% of […]

50 German patients with social anxiety disorders & 120 healthy controls were investigated using a retrospective interview with 203 questions. Compared to controls, patients described their parents’ rearing styles as significantly more unfavourable. Patients reported higher rates of psychiatric disorders in their families in general, in particular anxiety disorders, depression, & suicidality. The present data […]

To use men as a comparison group, 3 different groups of males were defined based on the mean age of the female groups. […]

Prevalence, clinical correlations, comorbidities, & suicidal tendencies were examined in a community sample of Korean pathological gamblers. In a sample of 5,333 subjects, the lifetime prevalence rates of pathological gambling & problem gambling were 0.8% & 3.0%, respectively. Associations between pathological/problem gambling & alcohol use disorder, nicotine dependence, mood disorder, anxiety disorder, & suicidality were […]

55 child & adolescent suicide victims & 55 community controls in Quebec were assessed using semi-structured, proxy-based interviews & questionnaires regarding sexual orientation & gender issues, psychopathological diagnoses, & service use. No significant differences between the 2 groups were found regarding same-sex sexual orientation nor intimidation related to same-sex sexual orientation. Suicide victims with same-sex […]

This meta-analysis of randomized, placebo-controlled trials compared suicidality in adult patients treated with paroxetine versus placebo. The goal was to identify emergent clinical characteristics of patients with definitive suicidal behaviour. The dataset comprised 14,911 patients from 57 trials. Possible cases of suicidality were identified & blindly reviewed by an expert panel. Overall, there were no […]

The relation between abortion, mental disorders, & suicidality was examined using an American nationally representative sample.

In this propsective observational study of 116 individuals with bipolar disorder, the authors examined the association between smoking & suicidality as measured by Linehan’s Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire & prospective suicide attempts over a 9-month period. Impulsivity was measured. Smoking was associated with higher baseline Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire scores in univariate & adjusted analyses but was […]

All suicides in Denmark from 1994-2006 were included, resulting in 9,612 cases. For each case, up to 30 controls were matched, yielding 199,306 controls. Adjustment disorder diagnosis was found in 7.6% of […]

This study examined the relative contribution of diagnostic & psychosocial factors to the prediction of severity of suicide ideation in a sample of 78 college students. Using hierarchical regression analyses to control for each set of factors, psychosocial factors were found to predict consistently level of suicide ideation. In contrast, diagnostic variables including diagnosis of […]

This study examined the relationships of frequency & type of psychiatric diagnosis to suicidality in a sample of 78 chronically & severely ideating college-age students. The most common diagnoses were depressive & anxiety disorders. Retrospective reports of childhood diagnoses were also quite common. Number of psychiatric diagnoses was significantly correlated with severity of suicide ideation. […]

The rate & risk of suicide & accidental fatal drug overdose in individuals who had been medically ascertained as having been sexually abused during childhood was determined.
