Passive suicide ideation in major depressive disorder: prognostic role and effect of antidepressant treatment
Background and aims
Passive suicidal ideation (PSI)—defined as the desire to die without any intent to act—is a relatively understudied phenomenon. This study investigated its prognostic role in major depressive disorder (MDD) and its evolution during antidepressant treatment.
Methods
A total of 482 outpatients (30 % male; mean age = 43.14 ± 12.46 years) from the CO-MED trial were included. Clinical evaluations were conducted at baseline and again after 6 weeks, assessing depressive and hypomanic symptoms, comorbid anxiety, and childhood trauma. PSI was measured using four targeted items from the Concise Health Risk Tracking Self-Report scale (CHRT_PSI; score range 0–16). To distinguish PSI from related depressive symptoms such as hopelessness, a conservative threshold (CHRT_PSI ≥5) was used when analyzing clinical features and treatment response. A broader, more sensitive threshold (CHRT_PSI ≥4) was applied when evaluating PSI's predictive accuracy for suicidal behavior.
Results
Compared to patients without PSI, those in the PSI group (n = 283; 59 %) exhibited more severe depressive symptoms, higher rates of comorbid anxiety disorders, and more childhood traumas, including both physical and emotional abuse. While PSI showed modest overall accuracy (37 %–46 %) in predicting suicidal behavior, its sensitivity (66 %–85 %) and negative predictive value (78 %–89 %) were good. PSI was also a significant predictor of response to antidepressants, an effect that remained robust even after adjusting for age, sex, depression severity, and history of childhood maltreatment. Among the 270 PSI patients who completed 6 weeks of treatment, 96 achieved remission from PSI. Insomnia and anhedonia were associated with poorer outcomes, while talkativeness was linked to a higher likelihood of remission.
Conclusion
PSI is common in individuals with MDD and is associated with a worse prognosis. Insomnia may act as a barrier to PSI remission during treatment.
期刊介绍:
Founded in 1961 to report on the latest work in psychiatry and cognate disciplines, the Journal of Psychiatric Research is dedicated to innovative and timely studies of four important areas of research:
(1) clinical studies of all disciplines relating to psychiatric illness, as well as normal human behaviour, including biochemical, physiological, genetic, environmental, social, psychological and epidemiological factors;
(2) basic studies pertaining to psychiatry in such fields as neuropsychopharmacology, neuroendocrinology, electrophysiology, genetics, experimental psychology and epidemiology;
(3) the growing application of clinical laboratory techniques in psychiatry, including imagery and spectroscopy of the brain, molecular biology and computer sciences;
