Diagnoses, Psychosocial Stressors and Adaptive Functioning in Attempted Suicide
Tóm tắt
A systematic sample of 78 suicide attempters (37 men and 41 women), of whom 83% were hospitalized, were interviewed according to SCID I and II and Axes III-V according to DSM-III-R. Mood disorders were most common (56%). Forty-four suicide attempters (56%) suffered from comorbid diagnoses on Axis I-II. Borderline personality disorder was more common among women then men (56% vs. 24%, respectively, p = 0.01). Axis III disorders were confirmed for 45%. Sixty-two percent of the suicide attempters had severe psychosocial stressors (Axis IV). When comparing subjects with only Axis I disorders to those with Axis I and II disorders, no difference with respect to psychosocial stressor grade was observed. Moreover, those with only Axis I disorders were not impaired in their adaptive functioning (Axis V) even if severe psychosocial stressors were present. In contrast, an association (p = 0.02) was found between high stress and low functioning in patients with both Axis I and Axis II disorders. The data suggest that in clinical practice, beside evaluation of Axis I and Axis II disorders, also stressors and global functioning should be included in the assessment of suicide risk after attempted suicide.
