Twenty-five adolescent siblings of 20 adolescent suicide victims were psychiatrically assessed 6 months after the suicide, and compared to 25 demographically matched controls. Siblings were much more likely to show a new-onset major depression subsequent to exposure to suicide. New-onset depression was associated with previous psychiatric disorder, family history of any psychiatric disorder, and family history of major depression. Mothers of suicide victims, compared to the mothers of controls, were also more likely to be depressed 6 months after the suicide of their child. The development of a family-based intervention for families of adolescent suicides is recommended.
对20名青少年自杀受害者的25名青少年兄弟姐妹在自杀事件发生6个月后进行了精神病学评估，并与25名人口统计学匹配的对照者进行了比较。兄弟姐妹在经历自杀事件后更有可能出现新发的重度抑郁症。新发抑郁症与既往精神疾病、任何精神疾病的家族史以及重度抑郁症家族史有关。与对照组的母亲相比，自杀受害者的母亲在其孩子自杀6个月后也更有可能出现抑郁症状。建议为青少年自杀者的家庭开展基于家庭的干预措施。
