“…In some studies, this variable seems to be able to differentiate not only ideators from attempters but also past attempters from recent attempters (P erez, Marco, & Garc ıa-Alandete, 2017). However, a recent meta-analysis found that hopelessness does not seem to predict attempts longitudinally (Qiu, Klonsky, & Klein, 2017). These findings are similar to those highlighted by other researchers (e.g., May & Klonsky, 2016), which means there is contradictory evidence about this construct in relation to suicide attempts.…”

Objective We aimed first to identificate psychopathological variables differentiating between suicide ideators, suicide attempters and patients without suicide ideation or attempts, and second to identificate better predictors of suicide attempts longitudinally. Method We compared suicide ideation, hopelessness, borderline symptoms, frequency, types, number of different non‐suicidal self‐injury (NSSI) methods, intrapersonal and interpersonal functionality of NSSI in a sample of 238 patients with Eating Disorders (1) with no history of suicide ideation or suicide attempts (n = 150); (2) with recent suicide ideation (n = 65); and (3) with suicide attempts in the previous year (n = 23). In addition, we analyzed the predictive power of the mentioned variables over the number of suicide attempts 7 months after the first assessment. Results The group of suicide attempters showed a major number of different methods of NSSI, higher frequency of NSSI, cutting, and more NSSI intra and interpersonal functions than the group of ideators. Unlike in previous studies, hopelessness did not differentiate between patients with ideation and suicide attempts. In addition, the best predictor of suicide attempts 7 months later was frequency of NSSI at T1 (N = 123). Conclusions Cutting, frequency and different methods of NSSI, intra and interpersonal functions were risk factors that differentiated ideators from attempters, being frequency of NSSI the best predictor of suicide attempts longitudinally. Thus, patients with ED with NSSI should be the focus of preventive interventions for suicidal behavior.

“…It is a self‐rating instrument composed of 23 items rated on a Likert scale (never = 0, to a lot = 4) for specific assessment of borderline‐typical symptomatology. The Spanish adaptation has been found to be a reliable and valid measure to assess BPD symptomatology, showing high reliability ( α = 0.95) and test–retest reliability (Soler et al ., ). In our sample, we found an adequate internal consistency for the global scale ( α = 0.96).…”

Recent suicide attempters show higher levels of hopelessness, borderline symptoms and NSSI than lifetime attempters and suicide ideators. Clinicians should focus attention on assessing hopelessness, borderline symptoms and NSSI in those with suicide ideation. Lower levels of meaning in life are related to recent suicide attempts. Levels of hopelessness differentiate between recent and lifetime suicide attempters.

“…In addition to these diagnostic questionnaires, the Borderline Symptom List-23 (BSL-23) (35), a 23-item self-rating instrument used to assess the level of clinical severity in BPD, was also applied to a subsample of the patients. Specifically, we used a validated Spanish version with good psychometric properties (36).…”

BACKGROUND: The psychological profile of patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD), with impulsivity and emotional dysregulation as core symptoms, has guided the search for abnormalities in specific brain areas such as the hippocampal-amygdala complex and the frontomedial cortex. However, whole-brain imaging studies so far have delivered highly heterogeneous results involving different brain locations. METHODS: Functional resting-state and diffusion magnetic resonance imaging data were acquired in patients with BPD and in an equal number of matched control subjects (n 5 60 for resting and n 5 43 for diffusion). While mean diffusivity and fractional anisotropy brain images were generated from diffusion data, amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations and global brain connectivity images were used for the first time to evaluate BPD-related brain abnormalities from resting functional acquisitions. RESULTS: Whole-brain analyses using a p 5 .05 corrected threshold showed a convergence of alterations in BPD patients in genual and perigenual structures, with frontal white matter fractional anisotropy abnormalities partially encircling areas of increased mean diffusivity and global brain connectivity. Additionally, a cluster of enlarged amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (high resting activity) was found involving part of the left hippocampus and amygdala. In turn, this cluster showed increased resting functional connectivity with the anterior cingulate. CONCLUSIONS: With a multimodal approach and without using a priori selected regions, we prove that structural and functional abnormality in BPD involves both temporolimbic and frontomedial structures as well as their connectivity. These structures have been previously related to behavioral and clinical symptoms in patients with BPD.
