Dental disease and psychiatric illness are among the most prevalent health problems in the Western world. While the dental needs of mentally ill people are similar in type to those in the general population (Markette et al, 1975) there is some evidence that patients suffering from mental illness are more vulnerable to dental neglect and poor oral health (Stiefel et al, 1990; Armstrong, 1994). Sims (1987) reports that physical health problems are more common in psychiatric patients. They seem to be poorly recognised by psychiatrists, and oral health is no exception (Hede, 1995). Oral health is an important aspect of quality of life which affects eating, comfort, speech, appearance and social acceptance (Nordenram et al, 1994).

Abstract. Background: People who feel they have become a burden on others may become susceptible to suicidal ideation. When people no longer feel capable or productive, they may assume that friends and family members would be better off without them. Aim: The present study was designed to assess preliminary psychometric properties of a new measure, the Perceived Burdensomeness (PBS) Scale. Method: Depressed psychiatric patients (N = 173) were recruited from a veterans affairs medical center. Patients were assessed with a structured diagnostic interview and self-report measures assessing perceived burdensomeness, depression severity, hopelessness, and suicidal ideation. Results: The present study supported preliminary evidence of reliability and concurrent validity of the PBS. Additionally, perceived burdensomeness was significantly associated with higher levels of hopelessness and suicidal ideation. Conclusion: It is hoped that with the aid of the PBS clinicians may be able to intervene more specifically in the treatment of suicidality.
