Abstract:
Objective To compare the difference of clinical symptoms and cognitive function between starting young and middle-aged depression patients with and without attempted suicide behavior.Methods Depressive patients were divided into two groups.One group was composed of patients with attempted suicide behavior (n =62),the other group was composed of patients without attempted suicide behavior(n =61).The cognitive function were measured by WAIS-RC,Wechsler Memorv Scale and Wisconsin Card Sorting test(WCST).The patients were evaluated by symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90).Results There were significant differences in the score of depressive factor between tow groups,such as attempted suicide (2.90 ± 1.00,2.51 ± 0.76).There were significant differences in some nenuropsychological test between tow groups,such as long-term memory (35.28 ± 6.87,41.60 ±4.24),short-term memory (51.32 ± 13.41,118.98 ± 10.95),intelligence quotient(107.41 ± 15.78,118.98 ± 10.95),total quizzes number (73.18 ± 27.02,64.14 ± 28.71),perseverative errors (32.77 ± 17.93,23.73 ± 13.64).Conclusions There are certain characteristics on clinical symptoms of depressive patients with attempted suicide.The low cognitive function levels play an important role in the risk of suicide in depressive patients.
