Abstract
South Korea is a country with one of the highest suicide rates in
the world, and the suicide rate is still on the rise. The purpose of this study
was to determine the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of suicide
attempts and risk factors related to suicide attempts among depressed patients
in South Korea. Among the 1183 participants, 21.4% had a history of a
suicide attempt. When the severity of depression was controlled, the risk
factors for patients who attempted suicide included younger age, experienced
significant life events before 12 years of age, psychotic symptoms, and
previous depressive episodes. The characteristics of attempted suicide in
depressed patients in South Korea can be summarized as a high suicide
attempt rate with no difference in the number of suicide attempts and
lethality between males and females. This unique tendency is probably
related to the sociodemographic and cultural characteristics of South Korea.
