Background: Suicide attempts and Psychiatric illness are interrelated in a complex and bi directional way such that either of them leaves an impact on the other. People with Psychiatric morbidity are at high risk of attempting suicide. Even though extensive research works have been done in suicide, there is a paucity of studies focusing the mentally ill attempters, especially with reference to Intent and Lethality. Hence the present study designed to study the various parameters , contributing factors and Risk factors associated with suicide attempts of patient with Axis I disorders. Aim: 1.To assess the life stressors and suicidal intent in suicide attempters with Axis I psychiatric disorders. 2. To assess the life stressors and suicidal intent in suicide attempters without Axis I psychiatric disorders. 3. Compare the life stressors and suicidal intent in suicide attempters with and without axis I disorders. Material and Methods: The study subjects of this case control study were recruited from the patients referred to the department of Psychiatry from Medicine, Surgical and Intensive care wards for Psychiatric evaluation.30 patients of attempted suicide who had Axis I diagnosis as per the ICD – 10 criteria were taken as cases and 30 age and sex matched patients were taken as controls. Results: 1.The suicidal intent is high in Suicide attempters with Axis I Disorders. 2. The lethality is high in Suicidal attempters with Axis I Disorders. 3. Stress factors play a major role in Suicide attempters with Axis I disorders.

ObjectivePeople with eating disorders (ED) are at high risk for suicidal behavior. Among different ED, anorexia nervosa (AN) has the highest rates of completed suicide whereas suicide attempt rates are similar or lower than in bulimia nervosa (BN). Attempted suicide is a key predictor of completed suicide, thus this mismatch is intriguing. We sought to explore whether the clinical characteristics of suicidal acts differ between suicide attempters with AN, BN or without an ED.MethodCase-control study in cohort of suicide attempters (n = 1563). Forty-four patients with AN and 71 with BN were compared with 235 non-ED attempters matched for sex, age and education, using interview measures of suicidal intent and severity.ResultsAN patients were more likely to have made a serious attempt (OR = 3.4, 95% CI 1.4–7.9), with a higher expectation of dying (OR = 3.7, 95% CI 1.1–13.5), and an increased risk of lethality (OR = 3.4, 95% CI 1.2–9.6). BN patients did not differ from the control group.ConclusionThere are distinct features of suicide attempts in AN. This may explain the higher suicide rates in AN. Deaths from suicide in AN may not be the result simply of their greater physical frailty.
