N2 - PURPOSE: Already there are little information on the association between co-morbidities in mental disorders and suicide ideation in developing countries. Current study examines the relationship between co-morbidities in mental disorders and suicide ideation in adult population.
METHODS: The cross sectional study was conducted using cluster random sampling method in three steps. Data collecting was based on household assets survey and a self-administered 28-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) as first step to screening and Persian version of the DSM-IVTR was applied to second stage to determine prevalence of mental disorders. Bivariate and multivariate analysis used to investigate association between mental disorders and suicidal ideation.
RESULTS: In all 763 participants, 199 (26.1 %) had a 1 or more mental disorder.
RESULTS showed that 42 (71.4%) subjects with co-morbidity met had history of suicide ideation, while 59 (7.7%) of all participants had a history of past suicide ideations. We found that major depressive disorder MDD and compulsive disorder were the most predictive associations with suicide ideation in both genders. Co-morbidity disorders ORs for exactly three disorders was (OR= 2.70, CI95%; 1.40-14.12) in males and (OR= 3.06, CI95%; 1.25-15.22) in females for predicting of suicide ideation.
CONCLUSION: Consistent with pervious data, our results confirmed that mental disorders and co-morbidity in mental disorders was the important predictor for suicide ideation. Our finding is very usefulness for applied interventions programs to reduce suicide in regions with high prevalence. Language: en
