Suicide risk constitutes a complex set of interacting demographic, clinical, psychobiological and environmental variables. Impulsivity is a long-known risk factor for suicide attempts. However, research based on clearer conceptual refinement in this area is imperative. One emerging field of study is that of decision-making. Impulsivity involves a failure of higher-order control, including decision-making. Using standardized operational definitions that take into consideration relevant aspects of impulsivity, including state- and trait-components and a deeper understanding of the process of decision-making in the suicidal mind, we may come a step closer to understanding suicidality and winning the fight in this scourge of human suffering.
自杀风险是一组由人口统计学、临床、心理生物学和环境变量相互作用构成的复杂因素。冲动是自杀企图的已知危险因素。然而，基于该领域更清晰的概念细化的研究是必不可少的。一个新兴的研究领域是决策。冲动涉及到高阶控制的失败，包括决策。使用考虑到冲动的相关方面的标准化操作定义，包括状态和特质成分，以及对自杀思维中决策过程的更深入理解，我们可能会更接近理解自杀性，并在这场人类苦难的灾难中取得胜利。
