OBJECTIVE
Suicidal ideation and behavior have been associated with a variety of neurological illnesses. Studies are ongoing in combat veterans and other groups to examine possible mechanisms and pathways that account for such associations.
METHOD
This article provides a review of the literature on suicide ideation and suicidal behavior in patients with neurological illnesses including publications on veteran's health and military medicine. Studies of suicide attempts and deaths in people with neurological illnesses are also reviewed.
RESULTS
The studies summarized in this review indicate that there are important linkages between suicidal ideation and behavior and neurological conditions, including epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
CONCLUSION
Additional studies are needed to further clarify why suicide ideation and suicidal behavior are associated with neurological diseases, in order to improve quality of life, alleviate patient distress, and prevent nonfatal and fatal suicide attempts in veteran and non-veteran populations.
目的
自杀意念和行为与多种神经系统疾病有关。针对退伍军人和其他群体的研究正在进行，以探究造成此类关联的可能机制和途径。
方法
本文综述了有关神经系统疾病患者自杀意念和自杀行为的文献，包括关于退伍军人健康和军事医学的出版物。还综述了针对神经系统疾病患者自杀未遂和死亡情况的研究。
结果
本综述总结的研究表明，自杀意念和行为与包括癫痫、多发性硬化症和肌萎缩侧索硬化症在内的神经系统疾病之间存在重要联系。
结论
需要进一步开展研究，以进一步阐明自杀意念和自杀行为与神经疾病相关的原因，从而提高生活质量，减轻患者痛苦，并预防退伍军人和非退伍军人人群中的非致命和致命自杀未遂情况。
