            Comportamiento del intento suicida en un grupo de adolescentes y jóvenes

            Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de 80 pacientes que realizaron intento suicida en el período comprendido de enero de 1997 a diciembre del 2000, ingresados en el Servicio de Psiquiatría del Hospital Militar "Dr. Octavio de la Concepción y de la Pedraja". Predominó el grupo de edad de 17 a 23 años. El perfil psicopatológico destacó los síntomas de ansiedad, ideación suicida, tristeza e insomnio. El perfil de personalidad obtenido con la aplicación del 16 PF permitió caracterizar al grupo como emotivos con poca estabilidad emocional, inseguros, aprensivos, angustiados, tensos, frustrados, agobiados con niveles altos de ansiedad. La intoxicación por psicofármacos fue el método más empleado por los pacientes. La incidencia de antecedentes familiares de intento suicida y trastornos psiquiátricos fue alta. Dentro de las enfermedades psiquiátricas predominaron los trastornos situacionales depresivos y ansiosos.

              Suicidal ideation and suicide attempts as predictors of mental health service use.

              To examine the extent to which suicidal ideation and suicide attempts are predictive of service use. The National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing considered service utilisation in relation to self-reported mental health problems. Service utilisation was inquired of in relation to hospital-based care (including both specialist mental health and general care settings), as well as consultations with a range of health professionals (both specialist and non-specialist mental health professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists and general practitioners) on an outpatient basis. Secondary analysis of self-report data from 10,641 randomly selected Australian adults who participated in the National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing in 1997. The key predictor variables were reported suicidal ideation and suicide attempts over the past 12 months. Use of services for mental health problems (past 12 months). When considered in isolation, individuals reporting suicidal ideation were more likely to make use of at least one type of service for mental health problems than non-suicidal individuals (OR, 17.3; 95% CI, 13.2-22.6), and individuals reporting suicide attempts were even more likely to do so (OR, 32.3; 95% CI, 9.0-115.4). In the case of suicidal ideation, this effect remained significant after controlling for a range of potential confounders. For suicide attempts, the effect of mental health service use was no longer significant after other variables were taken into account. Suicidal individuals are likely to make use of services, and a high proportion of suicides may be preventable through appropriate healthcare system responses.
