Risk Factoti in Suicidal Behavior

Abstract

Suicide and suicidal attempts are one of the leading cause •> of morbidity and mortality in the world. İn recent studies, an inerease has been shovvn in suicide rates especially for young population in our country. İn order to understand and prevent suicidal behavior, preventive treatment strategies and risk factors are being investigated. Since suicidal behavior involves a complicated multifactorial process, a biopsychosocial approach is necessitated. Although psychiatric disorders such as mood disorders are considered to be the most important risk factors, it is thought that additional risk factors also play an important role in the process. Several models are proposed for defining and predicting suicidal behavior. İn stressdiathesis approach, which is one of the most vvidely accepted models, state and trait dependent characteristics are emphasized and it is claimed that even in the presence of a psychiatric disorder, to react with suicidal behavior may be related to an underlying predisposition or diathesis. İn other vvords, stress-diathesis model tries to explain why one person commits suicide during a depressive episode and another does not. İn this paper preventive measures for suicidal behavior, specific risk factors related to psychiatric disorders, biopsychosocial factors, cognitive and stress-diathesis models for suicide are discussed
