“…The lifetime prevalence of suicide attempts in major depression is approximately 16% [7]. It appears that the relationship between PTSD and depression is reciprocal [24], as depression appears to exacerbate the effect of traumatic events [14] and PTSD increases susceptibility to major depression [5], whilst both disorders are independently associated with higher suicidality.…”

Abstract\ud PURPOSE:\ud The aim was to assess whether experiences of war trauma remain directly associated with suicidality in war affected communities when other risk factors are considered.\ud MATERIALS AND METHODS:\ud In the main sample 3313 participants from former Yugoslavia who experienced war trauma were recruited using a random sampling in five Balkan countries. In the second sample 854 refugees from former Yugoslavia recruited through registers and networking in three Western European countries. Sociodemographic and data on trauma exposure, psychiatric diagnoses and level of suicidality were assessed.\ud RESULTS:\ud In the main sample 113 participants (3.4%) had high suicidality, which was associated with number of potentially traumatic war experiences (odds ratio 1.1) and war related imprisonment (odds ratio 3) once all measured risk factors were considered. These associations were confirmed in the refugee sample with a higher suicidality rate (10.2%).\ud DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:\ud Number of potentially traumatic war experiences, in particular imprisonment, may be considered as a relevant risk factor for suicidality in people affected by war

“…Some studies suggest that the presence of comorbid depression increases the effect of PTSD on suicidality [4]. At least one study has shown that depression is a mediating factor in the relationships between PTSD and suicidal behavior [4]. Another study has demonstrated that persons with PTSD and depression had a greater rate of completed suicide than expected based on their independent effects [10].…”

“…Depression is associated with suicidal behavior: approximately 60% of individuals who commit suicide suffer from depression [11]. Some studies suggest that the presence of comorbid depression increases the effect of PTSD on suicidality [4]. At least one study has shown that depression is a mediating factor in the relationships between PTSD and suicidal behavior [4].…”

“…Post-traumatic stress disorder is frequently comorbid with other psychiatric disorders [3,4]. According to the National Comorbidity Survey in the USA, 88% of men and 79% of women with lifetime PTSD have at least one comorbid psychiatric disorder [3].…”

“…Major depressive disorder is present in 48% of men and in 49% of women with PTSD [3]. It is believed that depression amplifies the effects of traumatic events, and PTSD increases vulnerability to depression [4]. Among individuals who meet criteria for lifetime PTSD, 51.9% of men and 27.9% of women also have lifetime alcohol abuse or dependence [3].…”

IMPORTANCE Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been associated with increased mortality, primarily in studies of veterans. The World Trade Center Health Registry (Registry) provides a unique opportunity to study the association between PTSD and mortality among a population exposed to the World Trade Center attacks in New York, New York, on September 11, 2001 (9/11). OBJECTIVES To assess whether 9/11-related probable PTSD (PTSD) is associated with increased mortality risk, as well as whether this association differs when including repeated measures of PTSD over time vs a single baseline assessment.
