    The suicidal process in Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) patients often lasts 10 minutes or less, particularly in those with higher impulsivity. This rapid process highlights the urgent need for timely interventions in BPD suicide prevention.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is associated with high rates of suicidal behavior.
    • Understanding the temporal dynamics of the suicidal process is crucial for effective intervention.
    • Previous research has not fully elucidated the duration of suicidal ideation and action in BPD.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To measure the duration of the suicidal process in female patients diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder.
    • To identify factors associated with shorter suicidal processes in this population.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 110 female patients meeting DSM-IV-TR criteria for BPD and admitted after suicide-related behavior was studied.
    • Data on the duration of the suicidal process were collected.

  • Statistical analyses, including regression, were used to examine the relationship between impulsivity and process duration.

    • Main Results:

    • 58% of patients (63 out of 110) reported a suicidal process lasting 10 minutes or less.
    • A significantly lower adjusted beta coefficient for impulsivity scales was observed in women with a suicidal process of ≤10 minutes (β = -0.03, 95% CI = -0.06 to -0.01, p < 0.01).
    • Patients with a suicidal process under 10 minutes demonstrated a higher degree of impulsivity.

    Conclusions:

    • The suicidal process in female BPD patients can be very rapid, often concluding within 10 minutes.
    • Higher impulsivity is a key characteristic distinguishing patients with a shorter suicidal process.
    • These findings suggest a need for rapid assessment and intervention strategies for suicidal crises in BPD.
