Abstract

Some theories explaining the background of suicidal attempts emphasise the role of depression, while others emphasise the role of hopelessness in the case of different psychological states, like psychosis. According to researches negative emotions, namely hopelessness predicts suicidal intentions more precisely than depression itself. In our study we measured the suicidal risk of our psychotic patients with hopelessness, depression and life event scales. Our results have implied that suicidal psychotic patient groups showed significantly more serious level of depression and hopelessness and had more negative life events than the non-suicidal group. Indeed, a sub-group could also be distinguished among suicidal psychotic patients in which the level of hopelessness predicts suicidal risk and not depression.
