abstract="Context: Suicide, the self murder, is often carried out as a result of despair, the cause of which is frequently attributed to a psychiatric disorder. Depression is the most prevalent condition, found in the background of suicide. Other mood disorders like bipolar affective disorders are also found frequently. Suicidal ideation, a major precursor of attempted and completed suicide, is a measure to predict future suicide. Aims: To compare suicidal behaviour of major depressive disorder and bipolar affective disorder and to find correlation between disease severity and suicidal ideation. Settings and Design: A cross-sectional study in a tertiary medical college, comprising of total 200 patients with the diagnosis of various mood disorder (Major depression, Bipolar depression and Bipolar mania) Results: Bipolar, depressed patients had higher severity of depression (mean-37.04 ±5.123), statistical positive correlation found between BSI Score and BDI Score (value- +0.700) (p=0.000) and statistical negative correlation found between BSI Score and YMRS Score (value- -0.314) (p=0.026) Conclusions: With increase in depression severity suicidal ideation increases and with increase in manic severity suicidal ideation decreases. © 2015 Indian Journal of Public Health Research & Development.
