| Popis: | Suicidality-specific diagnoses have been proposed recently, but suicidologists are only just beginning to evaluate their merits. To advance this discussion, I introduce the term suicidal syndrome to describe the underlying entity, present a rationale for why a formal diagnosis is necessary, define the major features of the syndrome, and show how the syndrome could meet the requirements for new diagnostic candidates used in the development of the DSM-5. Against this backdrop, I examine common objections to a suicidality-specific diagnosis. Finally, I discuss several challenges with the creation of new diagnostic entities as they apply to suicidal syndrome. |
