Abstract:
The aim of the study is to determine the factors of suicidal risk in patients with cognitive impairment with depressive disorders. 362 patients with cognitive impairment in depressive disorders were examined: 123 patients with recurrent depressive disorders, 141 patients with bipolar affective disorders, and 98 people with prolonged depressive reactions. A complex of research methods was used: clinical-psychopathological, psychodiagnostical, psychometrical and statistical. Suicidal risk factors were determined in patients with cognitive impairments in depressive disorders, which included the clinical and psychopathological features of the manifestation of depressive disorder, anamnestic burden, the course and severity of stress factors and impaired communication. The relationship between cognitive dysfunction and the level of suicidal risk, differentiated depending on the type of depressive disorder, was determined. The identified suicidal risk factors can serve as diagnostic criteria for differential diagnostics and should be taken into account when creating psychocorrectional programs aimed at reducing suicidal risk in patients with cognitive impairment in depressive disorders.
