abstract="BACKGROUND: The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental  Disorders has included nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) as a proposed independent  diagnostic category, emphasizing the nonsuicidal nature of the phenomenon. Nevertheless, this terminology and concept have provoked a still ongoing scientific  debate among researchers and clinicians. AIMS: By extending a systematic search with  a broader focus on the prevalence and psychopathological correlates of NSSI, the aim  of the present study is to explore the relationships between NSSI and suicidal  behavior. <br><br>METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted in five databases  (PubMed, OVID Medline, OVID PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science) with the search terms  &quot;NSSI&quot; and &quot;prevalence&quot; and &quot;mental disorder&quot; or &quot;psychiatric disorder&quot;. The results  were completed by manual searches. Inclusion criteria were for each publication to  be an empirical study in English language that does not focus on a specific  population. <br><br>RESULTS: A total of 25 papers examined the relationship between NSSI and  suicidality explicitly. Among these papers, fifteen focused on children/adolescents,  five on young adults, four on adults, and one on participants from heteroge - neous  age groups. According to the results reviewed, altogether 50-70% of those who  engaged in NSSI also reported suicidal thoughts or attempts. Those who did not  report suicidal ideation differed from those who reported both NSSI and suicidal  ideation in certain intra- and interpersonal traits (e.g., less depressive and  borderline personality disor der symptoms, fewer negative life events, more social  support) and in some specific characteristics (e.g., higher frequency and higher  number methods) of NSSI. <br><br>DISCUSSION: Based on the publications reviewed, significant  suicidal risk is associated with NSSI in both adolescence and adulthood. This risk  may be even higher in the presence of certain comorbid disorders and other  psychosocial factors as well as in the presence of certain NSSI patterns such as  repetitiveness or multiple NSSI methods.<p /> <p>Language: hu</p>",
