Q

Hvilke risikofaktorer finner man for suicid?

A
More than 90% of individuals who attempt suicide have a pre-existing psychiatric disorder. The psychosis may be substance-induced, caused by damage to the brain (organic psychosis), or present as part of another mental illness. Up to half of individuals with schizophrenia engage in suicidal behavior, which often ends lethally. Antipsychotic treatment can significantly lower suicide rates in this group. Loss of a parent can involve estrangement or death. If death occurs by suicide, there is an even higher risk of suicidal behavior in the following generation.

Q

Hvordan er den generelle psykiatriske evalueringen av en pas. der man mistenker selvmordsaktige tendenser?

A
Many patients will openly talk about their suicidal thoughts once the topic has been addressed by the physician. Contrary to widespread assumption, asking a patient directly about suicidal ideation/plans does not increase the likelihood of a suicide attempt. Apparent peacefulness may indicate that a patient has made the decision to attempt suicide.
