In comparing patients who committed suicide in year 1 with those who didn't, the investigators discovered that the two groups did not differ in severity of suicidal ideation, prior suicide attempts, suicidal communications by the patient, or degree of hopelessness.
Nevertheless, the finding that half of the nondisorder group did communicate their intentions suggests that overt suicidal communication, whether or not concurrent with evident psychopathology, should be viewed as a clinical warning sign.
By contrast, those close to individuals contemplating suicide often respond to a suicidal communication with fear, denial, avoidance, and passivity.
