Characteristics of impulsive suicide attempts and attempters.

TLDR
Patients who made medically lethal attempts appeared to have characteristics which converge with those who have completed suicide, and the availability of a lethal agent may be the most significant determinant of the lethality of impulsive attempts, whereas suicidal intent and severity of psychopathology may make the most important contributions.
