“…Interestingly, NS and E demonstrate opposite effects on suicidal behaviours, with NS showing a risk effect and E showing a protective effect. Risk effect of NS on suicide was reported in previous studies for SA , as well as association between NS and SI . Based on Cloninger's tri‐personality theory, individuals of high tendency of NS usually response as ‘appetitive approach’ or ‘exploratory pursuit’ while facing novel stimuli , they tended to be more impulsive and often have increased risk‐taking behaviours , such as substance use and suicidal attempt .…”

Risk profiles of personality traits for suicidality among mood disorder patients and community controls Objective: To examine the associations between personality traits and suicidal ideation (SI) and attempt (SA) in mood disorder patients and community controls. Method: We recruited 365 bipolar, 296 major depressive disorder patients, and 315 community controls to assess their lifetime suicidality. Participants filled out self-reported personality questionnaires to collect data of personality traits, including novelty seeking (NS), harm avoidance (HA), extraversion (E), and neuroticism (N). We used logistic regression models adjusted for diagnoses to analyze combinational effects of personality traits on the risk of suicide. Additionally, radar charts display personality profiles for suicidal behaviours by groups. Results: All personality traits were associated with the risk of suicidality with various effect size, except for E that showed protective effect. High N or HA had prominent and independent risk effects on SI and SA. Combinations of high N and low E, or high HA and NS were the risk personality profiles for suicidality. Higher N scores further distinguished SA from SI in mood disorder patients. Conclusion: Introvert personality traits showed independent risk effects on suicidality regardless of diagnosis status. Among high-risk individuals with suicidal thoughts, higher neuroticism tendency is further associated with increased risk of suicide attempt. Significant outcomes• Higher scores of neuroticism or harm avoidance were associated with increased risk of suicidal ideation and attempt, and the effect of personality traits was independent of mood disorder diagnosis.• 'High neuroticism low extraversion' or 'high novelty seeking high harm avoidance' was the risk personality profiles for suicidal behaviours.• Higher neuroticism score further distinguishes attempters from ideators among mood disorder patients. Limitations• The sample size in our study was only moderate. It is underpowered to do stratified analysis, such as identifying gender-specific effects.• Personality traits were measured after diagnosis of mood disorders. The stability of personality traits cannot be evaluated. 30

“…Eric et al also reported significantly higher HA scores, as well as low SD scores in subjects with suicidal ideation (192). Further, several studies have found that higher HA and NS scores are significant risk factors for suicidal behavior (200)(201)(202), while others have linked lower SD and higher self-transcendence (ST) to suicidality (203,204).…”

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a complex psychiatric disease requiring multidisciplinary approaches to identify specific risk factors and establish more efficacious treatment strategies. Although the etiology and pathophysiology of MDD are not clear until these days, it is acknowledged that they are almost certainly multifactorial and comprehensive. Monoamine neurotransmitter system dysfunction and specific personality traits are independent risk factors for depression and suicide. These factors also demonstrate complex interactions that influence MDD pathogenesis and symptom expression. In this review, we assess these relationships with the aim of providing a reference for the development of precision medicine.

“…[ 22 ] The relationship between the neuroticism personality trait and suicide probably originates from the experience of emotions such as despair, helplessness, and severe stress, which make highly neurotic patients show a set of negative emotions in stressful conditions. [ 18 23 24 25 26 ] Hence, the neuroticism personality trait increases the person's vulnerability to the psychosocial stress factor. [ 22 ] As a result, the individual is more prone to suicidal thoughts;[ 27 ] suicide attempts;[ 28 ] and eventually completed suicide.…”

Aim: The present study strives to find an experimental response to these questions: “Is the relationship between neuroticism and suicidal thoughts a simple relationship? Or are there other psychopathological variables such as attachment styles that also affect it?” Subjects and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 376 medical students were selected from the three major cities of Iran using multi-stage sampling method from July 2018 to September 2018 and were evaluated using the demographic information questionnaire, Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSSI), the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-FFI), and the Adult Attachment Questionnaire (AAQ). Results: The overall prevalence of having suicidal thoughts among Iranian medical students was 17%. Moreover, the prevalence of suicide among the female, widowed, separated, and divorced students was higher than others. There was also a significant correlation between suicidal thoughts, gender, relational status, neuroticism, avoidant insecure attachment style, secure attachment style, and anxious/ambivalent insecure attachment style. Additionally, the attachment styles have a moderating role in the relationship between neuroticism and suicidal thoughts. Conclusion: Based on the current study, it is concluded that despite the presence of neuroticism in medical students, the attachment styles can reduce the risk of suicide as moderator variables. Hence, attachment styles can be considered a potential treatment goal in the prevention of suicide.
