• Compared with the controls, attempters reported more drug abuse, depression and behavior problems, as well as poorer peer friendships, self-image and communication skills. But attempters differed from "at-risk" teens in only two respects. Attempters reported more hopelessness on a standard, 20-item questionnaire, and in three out of four cases, they said that at some time they had felt that life wasn't worth living and had considered suicide as a way out. Although many attempters cited a recent upsetting event -- such as harsh punishment by parents or a romatic breakup -- as the trigger for their suicide attempt, such incidents occurred just as often among the at-risk group, Swedo's team reports in the September PEDIATRICS.

• Objectives and Methods:  Our goal is to compare 5HTlA and 5HT2A receptor binding in 10 depressed attempters, 10 depressed non- attempters, and 10 normal controls. ...   We hypothesize that depressed attempters will show increased 5HT2A binding in the prefrontal cortex relative to both the depressed non-attempter and the normal control groups, but that 5HTIA receptor binding will be decreased in both depressed groups relative to controls. ...   Attempters must have made a medically serious suicide attempt; non-attempters must have never made an attempt in their lifetime. ...

That the logistical regression did not show an elevated prevalence of substance use disorder in older attempters and ideators (age >15) may be an effect of the high background rate of mood disorders. ...
