Thepurposeof the work is to determine the associations of sleep disorders and subjective perception of sleep quality with suicidal behavior and depressive manifestations in individuals with alcohol dependence. Thefollowingmethodswere used a method of clinical interviewing, a psychodiagnostic method and the method of processing statistical data. We examined 128patients with chronic alcohol dependence (100men and 28women) aged 18 to 55years, the average age was 41.668.09 (median 41). There were used the following psychodiagnostic scales: ColumbiaSuicide Severity Rating Scale (PosnerK. et al., 2007); MontgomeryAsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS, MontgomeryS.A., AsbergM., 1979); The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI, BuysseD.J. et al., 1989); Insomnia Severity Index (ISI, MorinS. et al., 2011). Statistical methods: ShapiroWilk test, MannWhitney U-test, Spearmans Rank correlation, KruskalWallis test, Pearsons chi-squared test. Results.No correlation was found between the intensity of suicidal thoughts and sleep disturbances and sleep quality. People with suicidal ideation of insomnia have more pronounced insomnia. Associations were identified in the form of a direct correlation between sleep disorders and subjective sleep quality and the severity of depressive experiences. Conclusions.It can be assumed that if there are any suicidal ideas regardless of the severity of these, insomnia is more pronounced. It may become an early criterion for diagnosing suicidal risk in the future. Sleep disturbances are associated with depressive symptoms and occur even when the clinical criteria for depressive disorder cannot be confirmed. Findings suggest the presence of more complex relationships of the described phenomena, which is planned to be studied in further clinical studies.

Objective: Research in adults has identified an association between bipolar disorder and suicidal behavior. This relationship, however, has been insufficiently investigated in adolescents to date. Methods: 1,117 adolescents from 13 German schools (mean age = 14.83, SD = .63; 52.7% females) completed an extended German version of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), which assesses depressive and manic symptoms during the last week, as well as the Self-Harm Behavior Questionnaire (SHBQ) for the assessment of lifetime suicidal behavior. Results: In the present sample 39.4% of the girls and 23.1% of the boys reported lifetime suicidal thoughts and 7.1% of the girls as well as 3.9% of the boys a lifetime history of suicide attempts. 18.7% of the adolescent sample revealed elevated symptoms of depression and 9% elevated levels of mania symptoms. Elevated sum scores of depression and mania were associated with a higher number of suicidal ideations and suicide attempts. A block-wise regression analysis revealed that sum scores of depression and mania predicted suicidal ideations best. Concerning suicide attempts, the best predictors were age as well as depression and mania sum scores. Conclusions: Suicidal behavior was reported more often when adolescents demonstrate symptoms of mania as well as symptoms of depression than when they demonstrate only depressive symptoms. The presence of bipolar symptoms in adolescents should alert clinicians to the heightened possibility of suicidal behavior.

Summary: In the past suicidal behavior among Black South Africans has been largely underresearched. Earlier studies among the other main ethnic groups in the country showed suicidal behavior in those groups to be a serious problem. This article briefly reviews some of the more recent research on suicidal behavior in Black South Africans. The results indicate an apparent increase in suicidal behavior in this group. Several explanations are offered for the change in suicidal behavior in the reported clinical populations. This includes past difficulties for all South Africans to access health care facilities in the Apartheid (legal racial separation) era, and present difficulties of post-Apartheid transformation the South African society is undergoing, as the people struggle to come to terms with the deleterious effects of the former South African racial policies, related socio-cultural, socio-economic, and other pressures.

Background: The international literature reports that for every completed suicide there are between 8 and 22 visits to an Emergency Department (ED) for attempted suicide/suicidal behavior. Aims: To describe the characteristics of admission to emergency departments (EDs) for suicide-related presenting complaints in the metropolitan area of Bologna; to estimate the risk for all-cause mortality and for suicide; to identify the profiles of subjects most at risk. Method: Follow-up of patients admitted to the EDs of the metropolitan area of Bologna between January 2004 and December 2010 for attempted suicide. A Cox model was used to evaluate the association between sociodemographic variables and the general mortality risk. Results: We identified 505 cases of attempted suicide, which were more frequent for female subjects, over the weekend, and at night (8:00 p.m./8:00 a.m.). The most used suicide methods were psychotropic drugs, sharp or blunt objects, and jumping from high places. In this cohort, 3.6% of subjects completed suicide (4.5% of males vs. 2.9% of females), 2.3% within 1 year of the start of follow-up. The most common causes of death were drug use and hanging. In the multivariate analysis, those who used illicit drugs 24 hr prior to admission to the ED (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.46, 95% CI = 1.23–9.73) and patients who refused the treatment (HR = 6.74, 95% CI = 1.86–24.40) showed an increased mortality risk for suicide. Conclusion: Deliberate self-harm patients presenting to the ED who refuse treatment represent a specific target group for setting up dedicated prevention schemes.
