AbstractObjectiveAnorexia nervosa has the highest suicide mortality ratio of psychiatric disorders, suicide being associated with many factors. We assessed the first lifetime occurrence of these factors taking into account their possible overlap.MethodThree hundred and four in- and out-patients with anorexia nervosa (DSM-IV) were systematically recruited in three hospitals of Paris suburbs, between December 1999 and January 2003. Patients were assessed by a face-to-face interview (DIGS). Current eating disorder dimensions were measured, and patients interviewed by a trained clinician to assess minimal BMI and, retrospectively, the age at which anorexia nervosa, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders and switch to bingeing/purging type occurred for the first time, if applicable.ResultsMajor depressive disorder (p < 0.001) and subtype switch from the restrictive to the bingeing/purging type (p < 0.001) were the two factors significantly more frequently occurring before suicidal attempts, and remained involved when a multivariate analysis is performed, whether syndromic or dimensional measures are being used. Taking into account lifetime occurrence with a survival analysis, the switch to bingeing/purging type of anorexia appears as a major predictive factor, with a large increase of the frequency of suicidal attempts (OR = 15) when compared to patients with neither major depressive disorder nor bingeing/purging type.ConclusionsBingeing/purging type of anorexia nervosa is largely associated with suicidal attempts, and may deserve specific attention. If confirmed on a prospectively designed study, these results would argue for early detection and/or more intensive and specific therapeutic intervention on this aspect of bingeing and purging behaviors.

Suicidal Ideas

Background: Suicide has a strong association with mental disorder and contributes to the excess mortality of the mentally ill. Suicidal ideation is prevalent and appears to be a precondition for suicide attempts among psychiatric patients with Major Depressive disorder. Though ideas and attempts may overlap there are studies that show the two are separate clinical entities with unique psycho-socio demographic profile. Aim: To study correlates in patients with suicidal ideation and those with suicide attempts in a cohort of major depressive disorder patients. Methodology:  Study was conducted at the Inpatient psychiatry unit at a private medical college in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. It was a Cross sectional study design. Patients consecutively admitted with major depressive disorder (DSM IV TR) were recruited. Severity of suicidal ideations and attempts were rated on validated scales and the socio demographic and clinical correlates were analyzed. Results: Clinical correlates like severity of depression, severity of suicidal ideation and history of past suicidal attempt were positively correlated with severity of suicidal ideation as well as severity of current suicidal attempts in the cohort of depressive disorder patients. Conclusion: Assessment of current episode severity of both suicidal ideation as well as suicidal attempt is important in identifying high risk patients with major depressive disorder.

The Individual

Objective:We have pursued the association between clinical and socio-demographic characteristics and the suicide attempts at inpatients with major depressive disorder.Method:We ran an historical case control study to analyse the individual characteristics associated with suicide attempts in the depression inpatients admitted into the 9th Department of the Clinical Psychiatric Hospital “Al. Obregia” between 01 January 2007 - 01 January 2008. A total of 168 subjects with major depressive disorder (MDD) were included in the study. The patients were separated into two subgroups: “S” - the group with suicide attempt as reason of the present admission into hospital and the comparative group “C” - those without a suicidal attempt at the present admission (used as control group). The two groups were compared with respect to the individual characteristics, following their possible association with the suicidal attempts risk. We used the chi-square (x2) statistic for categorical variables.Results:Our findings suggest that the most robust predictors of suicide attempts in depression are the younger age of the depression onset, previous psychiatric hospitalizations, low socio-economic status, “single” marital status (widowed/divorced), with no children, heredocolateral history of suicidal attempts and the comorbidity with the problematic alcohol consumption.Conclusion:The risk factors associated with the suicidal attempts are useful for the screening, finding, prediction and prophylaxis of suicide attempts in major depression.
