N2  - Research from psychological, biochemical, and epidemiological methods reveals a growing body of evidence for the intergenerational transmission of suicide. In particular, family history of suicidal behavior and mental disorders appear to play significant roles in later suicide ideation and attempts. Family disruption associated with parental mental disorder and suicide attempts may be a primary contributory factor in suicide attempts. In the present review, research comparing parental divorce and parental death is presented to highlight potential factors associated with intergenerational transmission of suicidal behavior across developmental levels. In addition, the importance of diagnosing mental disorders is outlined as one component in the development of appropriate suicide assessment methods.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
