Popis: | Two independent measures, 5-HIAA and the Rorschach Suicide Constellation (S-CON), both related to suicide, were studied in an attempt to explore any relationship between the two. Lumbar puncture and the Rorschach were performed in standardized manner on 38 consecutive psychiatric inpatients, who had made a recent suicide attempt. Low CSF 5-HIAA was significantly related to the S-CON (rs = -.517, p = .033) and the Vista variable in the S-CON appeared to play an important role for the correlation. The results indicate that suicide attempters with low CSF 5-HIAA in this sample tended to experience more discomfort and pain during self-inspection. These results raise questions whether shame may be involved in the psychobiology of suicide. |
