The present study examined the prevalence and comorbidity of mental disorders according to DSM-III-R among male and female suicide attempters. A systematic sample of 114 patients from consecutive cases of attempted suicide referred to a general hospital in Helsinki between 1 January and 31 July 1990 was interviewed. In 98% of the cases at least one Axis I diagnosis was made. Depressive syndromes were more common among females (85%) than males (64%), and alcohol dependence was more common among males (64%) than females (21%). A high proportion of suicide attempters (82%) suffered from comorbid mental disorders. Comorbidity appears to play an important role in parasuicide.
本研究根据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册第三版修订版》（DSM-III-R）对男性和女性自杀未遂者的精神障碍患病率及共病情况进行了调查。对1990年1月1日至7月31日期间转诊至赫尔辛基一家综合医院的连续自杀未遂病例中的114名患者进行了系统抽样访谈。在98%的病例中至少做出了一项轴I诊断。女性（85%）的抑郁综合征比男性（64%）更常见，男性（64%）的酒精依赖比女性（21%）更常见。很大一部分自杀未遂者（82%）患有共病精神障碍。共病似乎在准自杀中起重要作用。
