Abstract
Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors in Depressed Hospitalized Preschoolers
Rosenthal P A~~et al
The authors explored depressive symptomatology in 9 hospitalized preschool children with suicidal thoughts & behaviors, & compared them with 16 suicidal & 16 behavior-disordered outpatient preschoolers. Results show that suicidal preschool-age inpatients show significantly more morbid ideas, depressed moods, weepiness, & parental psychopathology than the suicidal & behavior-disordered preschool outpatients.
