The relationships between risk-taking, depression, and alcohol use in the experience of suicidal ideation among adults in the general population.
Risk-taking is associated with suicide among depressed adolescents. In the United States, alcohol is among the most used substances resulting in need for treatment.

Higher suicide intent in patients attempting suicide with violent methods versus self-poisoning: A prospective study from Norway.

Might informal carers of adults with enduring suicidality experience anticipatory loss?
Carers of loved ones who repeatedly express suicidal intent and/or engage in suicidal behavior may experience a sense of anticipation of eventual suicide due to the potential of a fatal act of self-harm. An understanding of John Rolland's concept of anticipatory loss may help clinicians understand and attend to the experiences of carers of adults who engage in repeated suicidal behavior. Indeed, there appear to be some similarities between this model of anticipatory loss and experiences of informal carers, indicating that the phenomenon, which is hitherto under-explored in the suicidology field, may merit further considera...
