“…Consistent with previous studies and following the first hypothesis of the present study, unemployment has been described as a predictor of suicide attempts in the case of GD ( Guillou-Landreat et al., 2016 ; Komoto, 2014 ; Newman & Thompson, 2007 ; Thon et al., 2014 ), in BN ( Forcano et al., 2009 ; Goldstein & Gvion, 2019 ; Nickel et al., 2006 ) and in the general population irrespectively of the presence of a mental disorder ( Blakely et al., 2003 ; Haw, Hawton, Gunnell, & Platt, 2015 ; Nordt, Warnke, Seifritz, & Kawohl, 2015 ). The relevance of unemployment may be interpreted by the fact that it is often associated with previous social maladjustment ( Sciulli, 2016 ) as well as great difficulties to overcome financial problems due to a lack of a regular income and low levels of subjective well-being ( Paul, Vastamäki, & Moser, 2016 ). Another interesting finding was that an early onset of the disorder was associated with a greater likelihood of a suicide attempt later in life.…”
