OBJECTIVE

To study suicidal behavior in young adult patients with different mental disorders.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Two hundred and fifty patients (190 men and 60 women) who committed suicide attempts in youth age over the years 2009-2019 were studied.

RESULTS

The most common psychological and social characteristics of young adults who attempt suicide, which set prerequisites and define the very mechanisms of suicidal behaviors, are determined. The following psychopathological types of suicidal attempts in this group of patients are identified: 1) Impulsive (30.1%); 2) Demonstrative (20.2%); 3) Overvalued (19.8%); 4) Depersonalization-related (14.9%); 5) Psychotic (10.1%); 6) Self-torturing (4.8%). The types of suicidal attempts correlate with nosologic forms. This finding is important in terms of differential diagnosis and working out therapeutic and socio-rehabilitation strategies.

CONCLUSION

The dynamic study of the patients showed that the suicidal risk persists throughout the entire period of youth, including after medical intervention. Therefore, long-term and systemic individual pharmaco- and psychotherapy is required.
