  • Title: Suicide attempts and alcoholism.
    Author: Hesselbrock M, Hesselbrock V, Syzmanski K, Weidenman M.
    Journal: J Stud Alcohol; 1988 Sep; 49(5):436-42. PubMed ID: 3216647.
    Abstract:
    This study examined the association among suicide attempts, parental alcoholism, psychopathology and drinking history in a sample of hospitalized alcoholics. Suicide attempters were found to have multiple psychiatric diagnoses (e.g., depression, antisocial personality disorder and substance abuse) and more severe psychiatric symptoms than nonattempters. Alcoholic suicide attempters also tended to have a parental history of alcoholism and began abusing alcohol at an early age. Alcohol abuse symptoms during the month before, and 6 months before, the current hospitalization were generally similar for suicide attempters and nonattempters. Clinical implications of the findings are discussed.
