abstract="Suicide is a major mental health problem, particularly during youth, when it is the  second leading cause of death. Since young people at risk of suicide are often cared  for by the adult health system, we sought to identify the specificities and  similarities between suicidal youths and adults in order to further inform the  potential need for adaptations in taking care of suicidal youths. For this study, we  used the following data: mental disorders, treatments, previous hospitalization, and  reasons for current hospitalization, that were collected from November 2016 to  October 2017 among people hospitalized for a suicidal crisis in a specialized  psychiatric unit. First, we compared the data from the youth group with those from  the adult group, and then we tried to determine if there were any associations  between variables. Analyses showed that youths were more similar to adults than  expected. In particular, we found comparable rates of personality disorders  (especially borderline) and relapse, and similar profiles of reasons for  hospitalization in suicidal crisis. Remarkably, among youth, neuroleptics appeared  to be associated with fewer hospitalizations for behavioral than ideational reasons,  but with more relapses. <br><br>RESULTS of this study suggest that young people could  benefit from brief psychotherapeutic interventions implemented for adults.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
