Abstract: Our findings showed a higher prevalence of suicide risk in individuals with PTSD and support the hypothesis that the investigation of childhood traumatic experiences, especially emotional neglect and abuse, may help in the early detection of suicide risk in individuals with PTSD.

“… 4 5 Untreated, PTSD results in considerable morbidity (increase in years lived with disability), higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease, premature mortality due to an accelerated ageing process and a higher risk of suicide. 6–9 Owing to the high burden of PTSD and the associated negative adversities, PTSD should be identified and treated timeously. 10 11 However, little has been done to identify and treat PTSD in low resource sub-Saharan African (SSA) settings where multiple civil and tribal wars, social strife and natural disasters such as floods and landslides, have led to mass exposure of the population to traumatic events.…”

Untreated, PTSD results in considerable morbidity (increase in years lived with disability), higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease, premature mortality due to an accelerated ageing process and a higher risk of suicide 6–9. Owing to the high burden of PTSD and the associated negative adversities, PTSD should be identified and treated timeously 10 11.…”

“…There is a plethora of evidence supporting the significant causational relationship between childhood traumatic experience and suicide in difference populations (33)(34)(35). It is possible that stressful traumatic experience could largely waste a patient's mental energy and resources, which makes them more vulnerable to mental disorders (36).…”

“…El suicidio es la expresión más extrema de condiciones que manifiestan problemas de salud mental como la depresión (Oliffe et al, 2019), la ansiedad (Stanley et al, 2018), el abuso en el consumo de alcohol (Ghanbari et al, 2015) o las adicciones (Carmel et al, 2016;Yuodelis-Flores y Ries, 2015), pero también de circunstancias de vida estresantes como el desempleo, la inestabilidad laboral, la mala calidad del trabajo (Chastang et al, 1998;Min et al, 2015;Nordt et al, 2015), relaciones personales insatisfactorias (Till, Tran y Niederkrotenthaler, 2017), rompimientos sentimentales (Love et al, 2018) o el aislamiento social (Calati et al, 2019). Haber sufrido negligencia, abuso físico (Felitti et al, 2019) o sexual durante la infancia (Pérez-Fuentes et al, 2013;Spokas et al, 2009), estrés postraumático (Bach et al, 2018) o alteraciones del sueño (Bernert et al, 2015;Pigeon, Pinquart y Conner, 2012) también incrementan las ideaciones suicidas, los intentos de suicidio o el suicidio mismo.…”
