Bullying and childhood trauma events as predictive factors of suicidal behavior in borderline personality disorder: Preliminary findings

Clinical and Sociodemographic Variables as Risk Factors for Suicidal Behavior in Borderline Personality Disorder: A Restrospective Study

“…Preliminary studies from our research group have already spoken about history of trauma and its important relationship with SB, emphasizing the role of bullying 19 . The data is consistent with the literature reviewed and those expected in BPD population 4,39,40 .…”

“…Among clinical variables that relate to SB, depressive 12,15 and anxiety symptoms 16,17 have been mentioned. One of the most studied factors in recent years is the role of childhood trauma and its relationship with SB in BPD 9,18 , highlighting particularly bullying 7,19 and sexual abuse 20,21 .…”

Dissecting early life stress-induced adolescent depression through epigenomic approach

“…Early life stress (ELS), such as physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, physical neglect, and emotional neglect, are known as significant risk factors for many adverse health problems during adulthood [3][4][5] and are associated with physical illnesses such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and malignant tumor [6][7][8]. Exposure to ELS is a significant risk factor for mental illnesses such as major depressive disorder (MDD), schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance use [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. The number of early life adverse experiences is also correlated with the increased risk of depression during adulthood.…”

The hidden borderline patient: patients with borderline personality disorder who do not engage in recurrent suicidal or self-injurious behavior

“…Many studies have examined correlates and risk factors for suicide attempts and self-injury in patients with BPD with little consistency in the literature. A lifetime history of suicide attempts in patients with BPD has been associated with greater severity of depressive symptoms (Alberdi-Paramo, Saiz-Gonzalez, Diaz-Marsa, & Carrasco-Perera, 2019; Soloff, Lis, Kelly, Cornelius, & Ulrich, 1994), anxiety (Alberdi-Paramo et al, 2019), hopelessness (Pérez, Marco, & García-Alandete, 2014), older age (Soloff et al, 1994), antisocial personality traits and disorder (Soloff et al, 1994; Soloff, Lynch, & Kelly, 2002), the BPD impulsivity criterion (Brodsky, Malone, Ellis, Dulit, & Mann, 1997), a measure of impulsivity (Sher et al, 2016), poorer social adjustment (Kelly, Soloff, Lynch, Haas, & Mann, 2000; Soloff & Chiappetta, 2012), lower education and socioeconomic status (Soloff & Chiappetta, 2012), childhood sexual abuse (Ferraz et al, 2013; Soloff et al, 2002), childhood abuse (Alberdi-Paramo et al, 2019; Kaplan et al, 2016), bullying (Alberdi-Paramo et al, 2019), affective instability (Sher et al, 2016), and lifetime aggression (Sher et al, 2016). Other studies have not found suicide attempts to be associated with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder (Kelly et al, 2000; Soloff et al, 1994), history of eating disorders (Pérez et al, 2014), a history of substance use disorders (Pérez et al, 2014; Sher et al, 2016; Soloff et al, 1994), measures of impulsivity (Ferraz et al, 2013; Soloff et al, 1994), overall severity of BPD (Brodsky et al, 1997; Soloff et al, 1994), recent life events (Kelly et al, 2000), childhood physical abuse (Soloff et al, 2002), temperament (Ferraz et al, 2013), gender (Ferraz et al, 2013; Pérez et al, 2014; Sher et al, 2016), age (Ferraz et al, 2013; Pérez et al, 2014; Sher et al, 2016), or education (Ferraz et al, 2013; Pérez et al, 2014; Sher et al, 2016).…”
