“…For example, Bhatt and colleagues found no association between depression and suicide attempts compared with the present study. However, their case group differed from the present study and included 3‐month as well as lifetime incidence . Likewise, Joe et al studied both 12‐month suicide attempts and lifetime suicide attempts in African American adolescents and found lifetime suicide attempts were related only with anxiety disorder; however, the psychiatric disorders associated with 12‐month suicide attempts in their study remained unclear.…”

Purpose To identify predictors for 12‐month suicide attempt from general psychiatric outpatients. Design and Methods A case‐control study compared 55 cases of suicide attempt within the previous 12 months matched for age and sex with 55 nonsuicidal cases. All were interviewed for psychiatric and personality disorder (PD) diagnoses using a DSM‐IV‐TR diagnostic interview. Findings Factors associated with suicide attempt included depressive disorders (odds ratio [OR] = 4.62) and borderline PD (OR = 8.99). Practical Implications More attention should be paid to identifying PD especially borderline PD in suicidal attempters, and further study of modifiable factors associated with depression and borderline PD is encouraged.

“…Our nding also corresponds with Ansell Emily B et al 16 where Borderline personality disorder was a signi cant predictor of any attempt in the presence of all personality disorders. Another study by Bhatt M et al 17 found that impulsivity and borderline personality symptoms were signi cantly associated with attempted suicide. This suggests that symptoms of impulsivity in personality are strong predictors of suicide and may act in many ways by impairing the ability to cope with any situation and by drawing a person into con icts with family members and others.…”

Poisoning was the most common mode of suicide attempt and organo-phosphorous compounds the most common poison used. Some (13.3%) had past and 5.3% had family history of suicidal attempt. Most cases 63 (55.8%) were referred from Departments of Internal Medicine, followed by Emergency 28 (24.8%), self 18 (15.9%) and Paediatrics 4 (3.5%).

Aim: We aim to study psychosocial, socio-demographic and personality related factors associated with suicide attempts. Methods: From 1 st September 2018 to 28 th February 2019, we conducted a hospital-based case control study in Department of Psychiatry, Government General Hospital, Guntur, India. One hundred forty-five cases and one hundred forty five age and sex matched controls were selected for study. Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, Modified kuppuswamy scale, Presumptive Stressful Life Event Scale, Suicide Intent Scale were used. Statistical analysis was done using computerized software. Results: Majority (n=69, 47.58%) of the suicide attempters were between 21-30 years of age. The number of suicide attempters are more in rural areas than in urban areas and it is statistically significant with an Odds Ratio 2.39. The risk of suicide attempts is more in people who are uneducated (OR-1.51). It was observed that being an alcoholic will increases the risk of suicide attempt (OR-1.73). The average of PSLES score of individuals is more in case group (166.8) than control group (111.386). Having a family history of suicide attempts will increases the risk of suicide attempt (OR-2.28). Conclusion: Residing in rural areas, alcoholism, having no support from family members and having more stress full life events emerged as predominant risk factors for attempting suicide.
