Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To measure the duration of the suicidal process among patients diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

METHOD: The sample included 110 female patients who met DSM-IV-TR criteria for BPD and were consecutively admitted after suicide-related behavior.

RESULTS: Sixty-three patients (58%) reported that their suicidal process lasted 10 minutes or less. After being adjusted, the ? coefficient of impulsivity scales in women with a suicidal process ?10 min was lower compared to those observed in women with "10 min (?= -0.03, 95% CI=-0.06 - -0.01, p < 0.01).

CONCLUSION: Suicidal patients with BPD can be divided into two groups; patients who report a suicidal process less than 10 minutes show a higher degree of impulsivity.
