SummaryOne hundred and ten young women aged 18 to 30 years who had attempted suicide by drug overdose were divided into three groups on the basis of the physical threat to life of their suicide attempt. Young women whose suicide attempts resulted in the greatest risk to life were more often unmarried or not in a de facto relationship; reported little use of alcohol; had had recent contact with a psychiatrist; had taken more than 20 tablets or capsules, most often antidepressants; and had a high degree of suicidal intent and hopelessness. Furthermore, there were trends for them to be of high socio-economic status; to have had less history of violence, both used and sustained; to more often demonstrate schizoid personality traits; and to report less death anxiety.

Replication Study

In both an original and a replication study, groups of threatened, attempted, and those who sometimes threatened and sometimes attempted suicide could be differentiated from neuropsychiatric nonsuicidal Ss by means of an MMPI item analysis. The three types of suicidal groups could not be distinguished from each other. An analysis of the differentiating items showed the existence of various patterns. Some items were common to all suicidal groups, some to the threat and attempt groups, some to the attempt and threat/attempt groups, and some to the threat and threat/attempt groups. No items were found to differentiate only one type of suicidal group.

Threat To Life

SummaryYoung women who had attempted suicide did not score in a more hysterical manner than women in a comparison group when assessed by the Hysteroid-Obsessoid Questionnaire. Those who made suicide attempts resulting in little physical harm more often demonstrated hysterical traits than those whose attempt involved a serious threat to life. However, even in those subjects the majority did not score in an hysteroid manner, and they certainly scored in a less hysteroid manner than subjects of the comparison group.These results are in accord with the small literature using standardised assessments, and do not support the clinical view that young women who attempt suicide exhibit marked hysterical traits.

Questionnaire Assessment

Findings from a questionnaire assessment of depression in three groups of young women whose suicide attempts were of widely differing medical lethality are reported. No significant difference in the degree of depression between patients whose suicide attempt required intensive care unit resuscitation, those who required some cautionary medical observation, and those whose attempt produced negligible physical effect was found. Furthermore, on the basis of a decision-rule applied to their questionnaire responses, one-third of patients in each lethality group were allocated to the ‘endogenous’ category of depression. Recent literature delineating depression in younger patients is noted, and comment is made on the possible therapeutic implications.
