SPSS 21 was used for data analysis.Of the70 patients, 38(54.3%) were males and 32(45.7%) were females. The patients had significant positive relationship between suicidal ideation and sleep disturbance (p<0.05), while sleep disturbance (p<0.001) emerged as a positive predictor of suicidal ideation. Significant positive correlation between anger inward and suicidal ideation (p<0.05) was found (p<.05). There were non-significant mean differences between the various age groups on the scores of anger, sleep disturbance and suicidal ideation (p>0.05 each).
