A very high prevalence of psychiatric morbidity among the persons attempting or committing suicide has been observed by several investigators (Barraclough et al, 1974; Beck et al, 1990; Drake et al, 1985). In a study of attempted suicide Morgan et al. (1975) reported neurotic depression in 52%, personality disorder in 29% functional psychosis in 12% and alcohol addiction in 10%. Silver et al. (1971) found 80% of the attempters having depressive features. Likewise, Barracloughf1974) found 93% of the suicide being mentally ill, depression accounting for 70%.
许多研究人员观察到,企图自杀或自杀未遂者中存在极高的精神疾病发病率(Barraclough 等人,1974 年;Beck 等人,1990 年;Drake 等人,1985 年)。Morgan 等人在对自杀企图的研究中报告称,52%的人患有神经症性抑郁症,29%的人有人格障碍,12%的人患有功能性精神病,10%的人患有酒精成瘾(Morgan 等人,1975 年)。Silver 等人(1971 年)发现 80%的企图自杀者有抑郁特征。同样,Barraclough(1974 年)发现 93%的自杀者患有精神疾病,其中 70%的人患有抑郁症。
