Deaths by suicide and suicidality (thoughts, nonfatal attempts, and a range of self-injurious behaviors) are tragic consequences of psychiatric disorders—an association strongly supported by research, notably psychological autopsy studies that, on average, find 90% or more of those who die by suicide to have had one or more psychiatric and/or substance abuse disorder diagnoses (Maris, Berman, & Silverman, 2000; Bertolote & Fleischmann, 2002). Rarely are suicide and suicidality thought to be associated independently with medical conditions (Juurlink, Herrmann, Szalai, Kopp, & Redelmeier, 2004); yet, for more than half a century, medical conditions have been identified as risk factors for suicide, with but scant attention to this fact in the non-psychiatric, medical world.
Some medical conditions heighten risk for major depression, perhaps the single most associated chronic and acute risk factor for suicide. That said, this association is not a given, nor is depression a necessary condition for suicide among those medical conditions with heightened odds for suicidality. Perhaps for this reason, iatrogenesis has some part to play in the suicidal deaths of those with medical conditions, in that medical caregivers too often pay scant attention to the risk of suicide when a patient does not show signs of depression. Moreover, even when depression is in evidence, medical caregivers still may not explore suicide risk. As but one illustration of this, Feldman and colleagues (2007) presented 152 primary care physicians with unannounced standardized depressed patients and found
