This study evaluated the emotional and intellectual correlates of unsuccessful suicide attempts in persons with seizure disorders. Psychosocial evaluations were completed on 198 adults with epilepsy, of whom 32 had made one or more suicide attempts. The MMPI demonstrated increased anxiety and decreased ego strength among those with histories of suicide attempts in comparison to those without such a history. Intellectual abilities as evaluated by the WAIS were slightly lower among the suicide attempters, especially on language-related tasks. Unsuccessful suicidal behavior in epilepsy is probably the product of multiple conditions and circumstances, including seizures themselves, decreased adaptive abilities, increased emotional problems, and the continual availability of agents (antiepileptic medications) with which a suicide attempt may be undertaken.
本研究评估了癫痫患者自杀未遂的情绪和智力相关因素。对198名成年癫痫患者进行了心理社会评估，其中32人曾有过一次或多次自杀未遂经历。明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）显示，有自杀未遂史的患者比没有此类病史的患者焦虑增加且自我力量下降。经韦氏成人智力量表（WAIS）评估，自杀未遂者的智力能力略低，尤其是在与语言相关的任务上。癫痫患者的自杀未遂行为可能是多种状况和情形导致的结果，包括癫痫发作本身、适应能力下降、情绪问题增加以及可用于实施自杀未遂的药物（抗癫痫药物）随时可得。
