This study investigated the relationship between attempted suicide, personality factors and brief recurrent depression. Over a period of 1 year, the demographic and psychiatric factors of 307 patients who had attempted suicide and subsequently been hospitalised at H. F. Verwoerd Hospital and referred to its Department of Psychiatry were recorded. Their personality traits were evaluated clinically. After 5 years, 205 respondents were traced to complete a follow-up questionnaire and, where possible, a personality assessment was completed on clinical grounds. They were also evaluated for brief recurrent depression. Among the men, antisocial, dependent and histrionic personality traits, in that order, were most commonly noted and among the women, histrionic, dependent and antisocial traits. A clear relationship between suicidal behaviour and the syndrome of brief recurrent depression was established. The latter was also found to be related to histrionic personality traits in women. This underscores the relationship between suicide attempts and histrionic personality traits.
本研究调查了自杀未遂、人格因素与短暂复发性抑郁症之间的关系。在1年的时间里，记录了307例自杀未遂并随后在H.F. 韦尔沃德医院住院并转诊至其精神科的患者的人口统计学和精神科因素。对他们的人格特质进行了临床评估。5年后，追踪到205名受访者完成一份随访问卷，并在可能的情况下基于临床情况完成人格评估。他们还接受了短暂复发性抑郁症的评估。在男性中，最常被注意到的人格特质依次为反社会型、依赖型和表演型，在女性中则为表演型、依赖型和反社会型。自杀行为与短暂复发性抑郁症综合征之间建立了明确的关系。还发现后者与女性的表演型人格特质有关。这强调了自杀未遂与表演型人格特质之间的关系。
