Introduction
also see suicidal ideation
Etiology
- risk factors for completed suicide
- male gender
- > 60 years of age[5]
- widowed or divorced
- Caucasian or native American
- availability of firearms
- life stressors
- death of spouse
- economic woes, loss of job
- chronic or terminal illness
- medical conditions with increasing disability associated with increased risk[48]
- mental illness requiring hospitalization associated with very high risk such that disability associated with medical illness has no additional impact[48]
- severe infection, especially hepatitis, HIV1 infection[21]
- chronic pain[29]
- major depression[3] (major cause in elderly[30])
- hopelessness is the best predictor of suicide in the elderly[46]
- traumatic brain injury[28]
- diagnosis of dementia within 1st year of diagnosis[40][41]
- unemployment[9]
- duration of sunshine correlates positively with risk up to 10 days before suicide, but negatively with risk 14-60 days before suicide[4]
- enforcing restrictions on reproductive care including abortion linked with ~6% rise in suicide among women of reproductive age[42]
- Risk factors for attempted suicide
- female gender
- < 30 years of age
- substance abuse
- mental disorders[6]
- nightmares?
- prior suicide attempts
- disrupted family situation
- suicidal ideation
- veterans who have killed in combat are at increased risk[8]
- having a parent die during childhood[16]
- cerebral concussion ~ 3-fold risk[18]
- self neglect, RR~3-fold (Chinese Americans)[37]
- elder mistreatment, including elder neglect
- self-reported discrimination ~ 2-fold risk[37]
- methods of suicide
- firearms are the most common method used for suicide among males
- for women, poisoning was the most common method[19]
- suffocation is the most common method used among females 10-24 years of age (includes hanging)[15]
- - 25% of suicides occur by suffocation
- drug ingestion is the most common method used for attempted suicide
- opioid use disorder is a risk factor for suicide[39]
Epidemiology
- 33% of people have suicidal ideation during their lifetime
- 9th leading cause of death
- 3rd leading cause of death in adolescents (age 15-24)
- white males > 85 years of age have highest rate
- rates in elderly tend to be underestimated because they are easily confused with medical complications
- 20 cases per 100,000 in > 65 age group vs 12 per 100,000 in younger population
- suicide attempts highest 21-34 age group,
- suicide highest 45-64 age group[24]
- deteriorating physical health is more important than psychiatric illness in predicting self-harm in the elderly[7]
- 2nd leading cause of death among persons 10-24 years of age[15]
- one person dies by suicide every 40 seconds worldwide[13]
- increase in suicide in U.S. from 1999-2014
- suicide rate in 2014 3-fold greater in males than females (20.7 vs 5.8 per 100,000) [19
- increase in suicide 1999-2016[26]
- suicide rate increased > 30% in 25 states
- North Dakota with highest increase of 58%
- in 2015, 18% of suicides had served in the military
- >50% of cases had no documented mental health disorder
- suicide among U.S. health care workers 2008-2019 higher than among non-health care workers for registered nurses, health technicians, & health care support workers, but not physicians[44]
Pathology
- reduced brain serotonin or 5-hydroxy indoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) levels
Diagnostic criteria
- screen for suicidal ideation*
- asking does not precipitate suicidal thoughts
- 75% of suicidal patient seek physician help within 6 months of committing suicide
- most patients are reluctant to discuss suicidal thoughts without encouragement
- assess risk
- current stressors
- presence of depression
- drug (including alcohol) abuse
- socioeconomic risks
- gender
- age
- imminent risk
- suicidal ideation
- reasonable plan
- lethal method
- co-existing psychiatric disease
- lack of social support
* USPSTF concludes that current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits & harms of screening for suicide risk in the adult population, including pregnant & postpartum women & older adults[43]
Complications
- 5% with first suicide attempt die in the initial attempt or within the year[22]
Management
- Intervention:
- imminent risk (active suicidal ideation)
- don't leave the patient alone
- immediate psychiatric hospitalization
- ketamine may be useful for suicidal crisis[38]
- short term
- involve family or close friends
- remove access to methods
- close follow-up & counseling
- psychosocial treatment[17]
- similarities to cognitive behavioral therapy
- identify triggers for suicidal ideation
- formulate plans to counter suicidal ideation (if then)
- psychocatalysis (catch patient offguard) to engage withdrawn patient the morning after unsuccessful attempt[23]
- a safety intervention begun in the emergency department followed by post-discharge phone calls may help reduce suicidal behaviors among veterans[27]
- imminent risk (active suicidal ideation)
- Prevention:
- suicide awareness education
- social support
- school & community support programs
- peer support programs
- social support & sense of belonging are protective against suicide in men[12]
- higher minimum wage associated withe lower suicide risk[32]
- hospital & police programs to support victims of violence & at risk groups
- crisis intervention
- fellow students after successful suicide
- firearm restrictions & safeguards
- early detection & screening programs
- routine communication helpful[4]
- a game-like mobile app reduced self injury & suicidal behavior in young persons[20]; benefits dissipated with discontinued use
- insufficient evidence to recommend screening of patients without psychiatric disorder[10]
- USPSTF concludes that current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits & harms of screening for suicide risk in the adult population, including pregnant & postpartum women & older adults[43]
- 4 recommended practices for suicide prevention after hospital discharge:
- Pharmacology
- only 2 pharmaceutical agents shown to lower suicidal behavior; neither reaches therapeutic levels immediately
- anxiolytics (benzodiazepines), sedative/hypnotics & short-acting antipsychotics may be indicated to reduce suicidal behaviors
