Abstract

Clinical and symptomatic features were examined in relation to suicide attempts in a heterogenous group of depressed patients. Depressed patients who had attempted suicide had had their first episode of affective disorder at a significantly earlier age, had had significantly more episodes of affective disorder, and more of them had bipolar disorder. However, there was only one significant difference for baseline symptoms scores on four affective symptom rating scales. A family history of suicide was associated with a history of a violent suicide attempt.
