abstract="BACKGROUND: Previous research has demonstrated that suicidal ideation often predicts suicide completion. METHODS: The present study examined clinical and phenomenological variables associated with the presence, development and remission of suicidal ideation among depressed adults. The sample (n = 81) was derived from subjects enrolled in the Duke Clinical Research Center for the Study of Depression in Late Life. RESULTS: Greater pessimistic thinking at baseline predicted the development of suicidal ideation one year later and the older a person was when he or she first experienced depression, the more likely he or she was to report remission from suicidal ideation one year following onset. LIMITATIONS: Longitudinal analyses were based on relatively small samples. Variables that were not significant in these analyses might be in a larger sample. CONCLUSIONS: The longitudinal design of this study mitigates limitations associated with cross-sectional or retrospective designs and advances our understanding of a clinical profile associated with the development and remission of suicidal thoughts.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
