  • Title: Suicide attempts in antisocial alcoholics.
    Author: Whitters AC, Cadoret RJ, Troughton E, Widmer RB.
    Journal: J Nerv Ment Dis; 1987 Oct; 175(10):624-6. PubMed ID: 3655771.
    Abstract:
    The dual diagnoses of alcoholism and antisocial personality are frequently associated with suicide attempts. A group of 94 alcoholics with antisocial personality were divided on the basis of a previous suicide attempt. A variety of symptoms, including depression, alcohol and drug abuse, conduct disorder, and violence were found more frequently in the suicide attempter group as reported on the structured interview. These emotional problems were additionally found to have an earlier onset. The results were consistent with the concept of secondary sociopathy and indicated that higher psychopathology may be associated with suicide behavior.
