“…After childhood, the traumas triggering intention for suicide attempt expanded: emotional trauma becomes the leading risk of adolescent SB; and emotional, physical and traumatic family loss all constitute major risk factors for young‐adult SB 24 . Although our research did not explore the types of traumas related to the SB of LLD, given the permanent effect of unfavorable experiences in childhood, 25 we highlight the urgent need to address childhood trauma. In fact, it has previously been observed that dysfunction of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis, stimulating the adrenal cortex to secrete glucocorticoids in times of stress, occurs in older adults with a history of childhood abuse 26 .…”

Aim To explore the risk factors associated with suicidal behavior (SB) using logistic regression analysis and the propensity score matching (PSM) method among Chinese patients suffering from late‐life depression (LLD). Method Patient information sheets were retrieved with the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD‐10) code from an electronic database that comprised patient medical information. Herein, we set SB as a dependent variable, and gender, marital status, monthly income, quality of interpersonal relationships, hobbies, impulsivity, severity of depression, psychiatric symptoms or not, and having histories of smoking, drinking, major mental trauma as independent variables according to clinical experience and previous findings. For uncertain independent risk factors associated with SB generated by logistic regression analysis, PSM was performed for further verification. Results The differences between the SB group and non‐SB group for marital status, severity of depression, a history of drinking, and a history of major mental trauma were found to be statistically significant in univariate comparisons (P < 0.05); binary logistic regression analysis and PSM analysis showed that the severity of depression, a history of drinking, and a history of major mental trauma were independent risk factors associated with SB of patients with LLD with an odds ratio greater than one. Conclusion The severity of depression, a history of drinking, and a history of major mental trauma were independently associated with the occurrence of SB of patients with LLD in China. Further longitudinal and prospective studies are warranted to examine the dynamic changes of confounding risk factors. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2021; 21: 849–854.

“…A recent study found that the severity of childhood trauma experience contributes to a lack of response to antidepressant treatment and suggested glucocorticoid resistance as a target for the development of personalized treatment for a subgroup of depressed patients with a history of childhood trauma (33). Although our study did not investigate the types of trauma associated with SB among depressed patients, since negative experiences during childhood have everlasting influences (34), we highlight childhood trauma as an emergency.…”

Factors of suicidal behavior among inpatients with major depressive disorder: A retrospective case series

et al. 2022

ObjectivePrevious studies indicate that more than half of those who died by suicide had a depressive disorder. When discussing the factors associated to suicidal behavior (SB) among patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), sociocultural contexts should also be carefully considered. This case series study explored the factors correlated to SB among MDD patients in Beijing, China.MethodsThe patient information sheets were retrieved from an electronic database that comprised patient medical information. Three forms of binary logistic regression equations were conducted to explore the factors associated to SB among patients with MDD. For the inconsistent variables produced by the three regression models, the propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was done for further verification.ResultsIn this retrospective study, 1,091 depressed cases were enrolled. The difference between the SB group and non-SB group in gender, impulsivity, the severity of depression, history of major mental trauma, and family history of suicide were statistically significant in univariate comparisons (P < 0.05); the binary logistic regression analysis and the PSM analysis showed that female gender, history of major mental trauma, impulsivity, family history of suicide and severity of depression were factors correlated to SB among patients with MDD (odds ratios >1).ConclusionsFemale gender, the history of major mental trauma, impulsivity, the severity of depression, and family history of suicide were independently associated with the appearance of SB among MDD patients in Beijing, China. Inevitably, these findings should be viewed with particular caution due to the inherent drawbacks of a retrospective nature. More prospective longitudinal research should be conducted to examine those dynamic alterations in the corresponding confounders.

“…It was reported that childhood traumas are related to the thought and attempt of suicide even when there is no diagnosed psychiatric disorder (Boroujerdi et al, 2019; Clements‐Nolle et al, 2018; Fjeldsted et al, 2020; Zatti et al, 2017). In accordance with the literature, patients with attempted suicide history in the present study experienced greater levels of emotional and physical negligence, and emotional, physical, and sexual abuse compared to the healthy controls.…”

“…Experiencing emotional neglect or being the child in a shattered family child, on the other hand, was not associated with higher risk (Boroujerdi et al, 2019). Another study found that physical abuse, emotional abuse, and emotional neglect were associated with especially suicide intention and attempt (Fjeldsted et al, 2020). In the present study, scores of physical neglect, emotional neglect, physical abuse, and sexual abuse were much higher in the subgroup of patients with another suicide attempt in the past.…”

Purpose The aim was to investigate the possible associations of suicide attempt with childhood trauma, social support, psychological support seeking, stigmatizations. The study was case‐control study and included 100 participants (50 suicide, 50 controls). Conclusion BDI, BAI scores were higher in the patient (p < 0.001). While scores of all‐subscales of Childhood‐Trauma‐Questionnaire were higher (p < 0.05) in the patients, scores of Perceived‐Social‐Support were lower (p < 0.001). Repeating suicide attempts has higher Stigma‐Scale‐for‐Receiving‐Psychological‐Help scores than the patients who attempted to the first time (p = 0.045). Practice Implication Suicide is relationship with more childhood traumas, less social support. Repeating suicide attempts, individuals felt public stigma for receiving psychological help.
