Psychological autopsy of completed suicide in children and adolescents
M Shafii, S Carrigan, JR Whittinghill and A Derrick
A psychological autopsy of 20 children and adolescents aged 12-19 years who
had committed suicide and a matched-pair control group revealed that 85% of
the victims and 18% of the control subjects had expressed suicidal
ideation. A statistically significant number of the victims had a history
of suicide threats (55%), suicide attempts (40%), drug or alcohol abuse
(70%), antisocial behavior (70%), or inhibited personality (65%). Suicidal
behavior of parents, relatives, or friends and a parental history of
emotional problems and absence or abusiveness were also significant factors
for the victims.
