Abstract

Highly suicidal, depressed adolescents were compared to nonsuicidal depressed adolescents with regard to family history of illness. Chronic psychiatric illness of a parent, particularly depression occurring during the childhood of patients, was found to be more frequent among families of highly suicidal adolescents. Implications of this finding are considered.
