The relationship between non-suicidal self-injury and alexithymia in borderline personality disorder: “Actions instead of words”
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a serious mental illness that centers on the inability to effectively regulate emotions. A large amount of BPD patients engage in non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). Given the NSSI contributes to serious health risks, it is important to know why some BPD patients engage in NSSI and others do not. A possible associated factor of NSSI in BPD may be alexithymia, which reflects difficulties in identifying and communicating feelings. Therefore the aim of the present study was to investigate whether NSSI was associated with alexithymia and whether this association still stood when controllin...

The association between specific combat experiences and aspects of the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide
Studies examining the relationship between combat exposure and suicide risk typically focus on combat exposure overall, combining numerous different combat experiences. Our study expands upon prior research by examining the association between specific combat experiences and components of both suicidal desire and the capability for suicide. We hypothesized that most combat experiences would be associated with capability for suicide. Furthermore, we hypothesized that experiences that involved direct exposure to death and injury (e.g. (Source: Comprehensive Psychiatry)

The aim of the present study was to explore whether patients with major depressive disorders (MDD) and a history of suicide attempts differed in their early maladaptive schemas from patients with MDD but without such a history or from healthy controls.

The persistent shadow of suicide ideation and attempts in a high-risk group of psychiatric patients: A focus for intervention
Public health approaches to reducing the suicide rate include using demographic and psychiatric risk factor data to classify groups at elevated risk for suicide and to identify proximal warning signs of increased danger. Treatment for individuals in an acute suicide crisis generally consists of providing access to crisis intervention and stabilization, and perhaps short-term hospitalization followed by a referral to outpatient psychiatric follow-up. Once the crisis passes, those who have made a suicide attempt are at elevated risk for repeated attempts or completed suicide [1 –3]. (Source: Comprehensive Psychiatry)
