N2  - OBJECTIVES: In this study, we tested whether the unbearable pain scale of the Psychache Scale provides value for the statistical prediction of a previous suicide attempt; we evaluated whether psychological pain has incremental value in the statistical prediction of a previous suicide attempt relative to the reporting of having had a psychiatric diagnosis, and we established a cut-score for the Psychache Scale. <br><br>METHOD: Two samples participated: a sample consisting of 1,460 young adults and a sample of 628 Portuguese community adults. <br><br>RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Results demonstrated that unbearable pain is not a stronger predictor of a previous suicide attempt than is the bearable pain score of the Psychache Scale; that the total score of the Psychache scale provides an additional statistically significant contribution to the statistical prediction of a previous suicide attempt relative to the reporting of having had a psychiatric diagnosis.<br><br>© 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
