In this brief article we posit a rationale as to why a past clinical history of attempted suicide is a strong risk factor for suicide. We hypothesise that the process of making a suicide attempt, with the clear intention of dying, fundamentally alters the brain and that this increases the likelihood of considering suicide in the future.
