    Observation:

    • Suicidal behavior frequently co-occurs with alcohol intoxication.
    • Feelings of hopelessness are strongly associated with suicidal ideation and actions.
    • Low levels of brain serotonin are being investigated as a potential biological factor in suicidal behavior.

    Findings:
