“…This association was among the weakest found in Study 2, and although it is not crucial for such an association to exist (because the association between depression and suicide can still be significantly moderated by CH status even if the simple association between CH and depression is not itself significant), finding evidence of this association at the level of individual respondents would strengthen our argument, especially given that depression is the single strongest predictor of suicidal ideation and behavior (e.g., Bradvick, Mattisson, Bogren, & Nettelbladt, 2008;Cheng, Chen, Chen, & Jenkins, 2000). We tested the hypothesis that endorsing honor-related beliefs and values would predict scores on a depression inventory.…”

Cultures of honor facilitate certain forms of interpersonal violence. The authors suggest that these cultures might also promote values and expectations that could heighten suicide risk, such as strict gender-role standards and hypersensitivity to reputational threats, which could lead people living in such cultures to consider death as an option when failure occurs or reputation is threatened sufficiently. Study 1 shows that, controlling for a host of statewide covariates, honor states in the United States have significantly higher male and female suicide rates than do nonhonor states, particularly in nonmetropolitan areas among Whites. Study 2 shows that statewide levels of antidepressant prescriptions (an indicator of mental health resource utilization) are lower in honor states, whereas levels of major depression are higher, and statewide levels of depression are associated with suicide rates only among honor states. Finally, Study 3 shows that individual endorsement of honor ideology is positively associated with depression.

“…One explanation that was offered was that depressive disorder itself was not associated with a high risk of death but rather is concomitant with rapidly declining health and that somatic symptoms of chronic fatal disease overlap with those of depressive disorder. However, severe depression has been linked to a high risk of suicide and hence an increase in mortality (Brådvik et al, 2008).…”

“…It was reported within the framework of the Lundby Study that severe depression with psychotic and/ or melancholic features in particular carries a high risk of accomplished suicidality (Brådvik et al, 2008). Moreover, male gender has been linked to a higher risk of suicide.…”

The study commenced in 1947; the population was further investigated in 1957, 1972, and 1997.Methods: Experienced psychiatrists performed semi-structured diagnostic interviews, and best estimate consensus diagnoses of mental disorders were assessed at each field investigation.Subjects with mood disorder (n= 508, 195 males, 313 females) were identified until 1997.Causes and dates of death between 1947 and 2011 were obtained from the Swedish cause of death register and were compared between subjects diagnosed with mood disorder and other participants.Mortality was compared between those with mood disorders and the remaining cohort with Cox regression analyses. Other mental disorders were considered as risk factors for death for subjects with mood disorders. Results:The hazard ratio for mortality in mood disorders was HR=1.18. However, the mortality was elevated only for males, HR=1.5. A total of 6.3% of the participants with mood disorder and 1.2% of the remaining participants committed suicide. Comorbid anxiety disorders, organic disorders, dementia and psychotic disorders were significant risk factors for death.Conclusions: As expected, the suicide rate was higher among participants with mood disorders. Only males with mood disorders had elevated mortality. The impact on mortality from other mental disorders seems to vary between the genders.3

“…Gender disparities have been found in the prevalence of somatic symptoms of depression, with women being more prone to experience symptoms such as appetite disturbance, sleep disorders (Roberts et al 2000;Kockler and Heun 2002;Jaussent et al 2011), and atypical depression (Angst et al 2002); and men being substantially more likely than women to experience the most tragic consequence of depression: suicide (Bjerkeset et al 2008;Brådvik et al 2008).…”
