This volume of the Annals contains the proceedings of a workshop on suicide research sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health and the American Suicide Foundation. The workshop presented the latest research in suicide from preclinical, clinical neuroscience, and treatment perspectives. The preclinical section provides information on new methodologies in basic research that have promise for uncovering mechanisms that may underlie suicide. The clinical neuroscience section discusses… Expand

Neurobiology of Suicidal Behavior. An Integration of Biological and Clinical Findings
TLDR
This model integrates findings from several perspectives in suicidology and attempts to explain the relationship between various neurobiological, genetic, and clinical observations in suicide research, offering a comprehensive hypothesis to facilitate understanding of this complex outcome. Expand
The Neurobiology and Genetics of Suicide and Attempted Suicide: A Focus on the Serotonergic System
TLDR
There is considerable evidence that the serotonergic system is partly under genetic control and that as yet unknown genetic factors mediate the risk for suicidal behavior independently of the genetic factors responsible for the heritability of major psychiatric conditions associated with suicide. Expand
Neurobiological underpinnings of suicidal behavior: Integrating data from clinical and biological studies
Background and Objectives: Every year, suicide accounts for approxi- mately one million preventable deaths worldwide. Suicidal behavior is complex and multi-determined with risk factors identified in… Expand
Rational Suicide, Hastened Death, and Self-Destructive Behaviors
One of the 15 major recommendations from The Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Prevent Suicide (U.S. Public Heath Service, 1999) was to “institute training for all health, mental health, substance… Expand
MRI correlates of suicide attempt history in unipolar depression
TLDR
Patients with abnormal MRI findings may be at higher risk for mood disorders and suicide attempts because of disruption of critical neuroanatomic pathways. Expand
The struggle to prevent and evaluate: application of population attributable risk and preventive fraction to suicide prevention research.
TLDR
Both PAR and PF are valuable instruments to inform development and evaluation of suicide prevention programs and the application of both concepts to suicide research and prevention is discussed. Expand
Epidemiological link between low cholesterol and suicidality: A puzzle never finished
TLDR
The aim of this contribution is to comprehensively update and critically review the epidemiological evidences and to discussions of the direction and methodological challenges for future investigations. Expand
Increased suicide attempts in young depressed patients with abnormal temporal-parietal-limbic gray matter volume.
TLDR
Suicide attempts in young depressed patients may be related to abnormal gray matter volumes in temporal-parietal-limbic networks, and small left limbic cingulate gyrus volumes may be a candidate for the prediction of suicide in young depression patients. Expand
Epidemiology of completed and attempted suicide: toward a framework for prevention
Abstract Suicide is an important public health problem. It is a complex, long-term outcome of mental illness, with multiple, interacting antecedents. This paper reviews descriptive and analytic… Expand
Crisis of Suicide: A Pastoral Psychological Approach
The issue of death is a common phenomenon among humans.  As common as it is however, the way one dies is a serious concern in the African setting, in particular.  Death by suicide is a detested… Expand

Methodological Strategies in Suicide a
TLDR
The purpose of this paper is to assess the contribution of various strategies in the search for understanding of suicide behavior and to recommend useful approaches for future research. Expand
POSSIBILITY OF A BIOCHEMICAL TEST FOR SUICIDAL POTENTIAL: AN ANALYSIS OF ENDOCRINE FINDINGS PRIOR TO THREE SUICIDES.
Introduction THIS REPORT has been written to pose the question: Could a biochemical test aid in the prediction of suicidal intent in depressed patients? To our knowledge the question has not been… Expand
Self-Destruction in the Promised Land: A Psychocultural Biology of American Suicide
TLDR
In the present volume Kushner, a historian, has attempted a synthesis of these disparate influences to produce a unified theory of suicidology. Expand
Further evaluation of urinary 17-hydroxycorticosteroids in suicidal patients.
THIS PAPER reports longitudinal steroid data on nine patients who subsequently committed suicide or who made a serious attempt and compares the significance of the elevations of these levels with 134… Expand
The dexamethasone suppression test in suicidal patients with unipolar depression.
TLDR
Findings suggest that the tendency of endogenously depressed patients to attempt suicide is exacerbated by an underlying neurobiological disorder reflected by limbic-hypothalamic dysregulation and that depressed suicidal patients with abnormal DSTs represent a high-risk group for recurrence of suicidal behavior. Expand
Neurochemical and electrophysiological events underlying stress-induced depression in an animal model.
TLDR
Findings from electrophysiological measurement of LC activity support the view that the LC is involved in stress-induced depression, and are consistent with a proposed mechanism that attributes behavioral disturbance in the model to disinhibition of LC neurons arising from subnormal activation of inhibitory alpha-2 receptors. Expand
Reconciling the role of central serotonin neurons in human and animal behavior
Animal research suggests that central serotonergic neurons are involved in behavioral suppression, particularly anxiety-related inhibition. The hypothesis linking decreased serotonin transmission to… Expand
Dysfunctional attitudes and suicidal ideation in psychiatric outpatients.
TLDR
The contributions of sets of dysfunctional attitudes for identifying and explaining suicidal ideation were overshadowed by a history of a past suicide attempt and hopelessness. Expand
Suicide and the dexamethasone suppression test in unipolar depression.
TLDR
The authors suggest that hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal dysfunction is associated with a type of primary depressive illness that is more likely to involve suicide than are other types. Expand
Failure of the urinary test for suicide potential. Analysis of urinary 17-OHCS steroid findings prior to suicide in two patients.
TLDR
Urine 17-hydroxycorticosteroid determinations in a group of 36 depressed inpatients showed high mean urinary 17OHCS determinations, and patients had relatively low clinical ratings of suicidal behavior making such a test of great practical value. Expand
