Is Late-Onset Suicidal Behavior a Distinct Subtype?
Am J Geriatr Psychiatry. 2023 Dec 16:S1064-7481(23)00501-8. doi: 10.1016/j.jagp.2023.12.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis clinical viewpoint article aims to draw attention to a yet unexplored factor influencing suicidal behavior: age of onset of suicidal behavior. To tackle the substantial heterogeneity among depressed older attempters, we suggest consideration of at least two distinct pathways to suicidal behavior in late life based on when the first suicidal crisis occurred. Specifically, we discuss the current state of research and the rationale behind the suggested early-late-onset categorization of late-life sui...
