Abstract

The authors explored the depressive symptomatology in 9 hospitalized preschool children with suicidal thoughts and behaviors and compared them with 16 suicidal and 16 behavior-disordered outpatient preschoolers. Results indicate that suicidal preschool-age inpatients show significantly more morbid ideas, depressed mood, weepiness, and parental psychopathology than the suicidal and behavior-disordered preschool outpatients. Two of the children did not suppress cortisol post-dexamethasone.

摘要

作者对9名有自杀想法和行为的住院学龄前儿童的抑郁症状进行了探究，并将他们与16名有自杀行为的门诊学龄前儿童以及16名有行为障碍的门诊学龄前儿童进行了比较。结果表明，有自杀倾向的住院学龄前儿童比有自杀行为和行为障碍的门诊学龄前儿童表现出明显更多的病态想法、情绪低落、易哭泣以及父母精神病理学问题。其中两名儿童在服用地塞米松后未抑制皮质醇分泌。
