abstract="BACKGROUND: Little is known about the role of insight and satisfaction with life in adolescent suicidal behavior. AIMS: The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between suicide risk, insight, and satisfaction with life among adolescents with mental disorders. <br><br>METHOD: A total of 30 adolescents were evaluated using self-report measures of insight, satisfaction with life, and suicide risk. Regression analysis was used to assess the contribution of each factor to suicide risk. <br><br>RESULTS: Positive correlations were found between suicide risk and insight dimensions. Satisfaction with life correlated negatively with suicide risk and insight dimensions. Insight explained 27.3% of suicide risk (p =.003). Both insight and satisfaction with life explained 39.0% of suicide risk (p =.031). <br><br>CONCLUSION: Among adolescents with mental disorders, insight is a risk factor, whereas satisfaction with life is a protective factor for suicidality. Insight affects suicide risk of adolescents with mental disorders via reduction of satisfaction with life.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
