Abstract

In a sample of 87 Kuwaiti undergraduates (20 men, 67 women), obsessive-compulsive scores were associated with scores on measures of mania, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Multiple stepwise regression indicated that (a) obsession, suicidal attempts, and suicidal threats were predictors of depression, (b) depression, suicidal attempts, and obsession predicted suicidal thoughts, (c) age, doubting, and sex were predictors of suicidal threats, and (d) suicidal thoughts, depression, and obsession were predictors of suicidal attempts.
