Predicting serious suicide attempts is crucial. This study found that a lack of self-disclosure significantly distinguishes severe suicide attempters from those with ideation or mild attempts, independent of depression or hopelessness.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Predicting suicide risk is a significant clinical challenge.
  • Personality variables may play a role in differentiating suicide attempt severity.
  • Self-disclosure is a potential factor influencing suicidal behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate self-disclosure as a personality variable differentiating suicide attempters.
  • To explore the relationship between self-disclosure and suicide attempt lethality.
  • To examine if depression, anxiety, or hopelessness mediate this relationship.

Main Methods:

  • Assessed 80 patients with depressive disorder in four groups: suicidal ideation, nonserious attempts, severe attempts, and no suicidal behavior.
  • Included 20 healthy controls for comparison.

  • Administered Jourad's Self-Disclosure Questionnaire (JSDQ) and scales for depression, anxiety, and hopelessness.

    • Main Results:

    • A lack of willingness for self-disclosure significantly differentiated severe suicide attempters from suicide ideators and mild attempters.
    • This association was not mediated by depression, anxiety, or hopelessness.
    • Preliminary findings suggest self-disclosure is a distinct factor in suicide attempt severity.

    Conclusions:

    • Self-disclosure may be a promising area for assessment, therapy, and prevention in suicidal patients.
    • Further research is needed with diverse patient groups and instruments.
    • Understanding self-disclosure patterns can aid in identifying high-risk individuals.
