N2  - INTRODUCTION: This study aims to know the prevalence of psychiatric patology in a group of persons with a history of previous parasuicides (2.5-6.5 years earlier) and to compare to those with previous affective disorders at the same period (without parasuicides). <br><br>METHOD: Descriptive, transversal, community, case-control study, including 48 cases and 48 controls. All participants were interviewed, sociodemographic data were collected and was made a psychiatric diagnosis using the Research Diagnostics Criteria (RDC). The Scale for Suicide Ideation, Depression, Anxiety, Hopelessness, Impulsivity, MALT, MMPI-2 and a questionnaire of life-events items were applied. <br><br>RESULTS: Controls had a higher proportion of current depression (68.7 vs. 45.8%; z = 2.06, p = 0.03). Among the repeaters the percentage of depression was higher than among no-repeaters (87.5 vs. 50%; z = 2.49, p = 0.01) and they had a significant higher score in BDI and BHS. Conclussions: A high proportion of people suffer from some psychiatric disorder years after a parasuicide. This proportion is higher among repeaters. Copyright © 2008 Aran Ediciones, S.
