Characterization of Suicidal Depression
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Antidepressants are widely used to prevent suicidal risk. However, even though the use of antidepressants has been associated with a 40-60% decrease in suicidal risk, they do not seem to be sufficient and appropriate. Indeed recent studies have shown that patients with a history of suicide attempt and/or with current suicidal ideation (SI) respond less well to antidepressant treatments. This suggests that patients with depression with SI may be different from those with depression without SI, thus requiring specific treatments for both SI reduction and depressive remission. In other words, suicidal depression may be a specific subtype of depression.
The study aims to characterize the clinical phenotype of patients with suicidal depression vs. those without suicidal depression, and to assess the occurrence of suicidal events at one year in patients with suicidal depression vs. without suicidal depression.
