Abstract

People who attempt suicide and those who complete suicide come from separate but somewhat overlapping populations. Because suicide affects a number of highly functioning individuals, it is important to review the knowledge on completed suicide. The majority of people who commit suicide are psychiatrically ill, especially with unipolar and bipolar depression and alcoholism. Other sociodemographic and symptomatic correlates, as well as familial clustering, are discussed.
