intra-psychic distress, and irresistable suicidality. AD symptoms

overlapped with SSRI presentations. Eighty-one percent of the AD

sample reported no ideation; however, 96% made an attempt. For

the SSRI group, 52% reported no ideation; however, 95% made an

attempt. Sensitivity 80.3%, specificity 98.1%. Internal consistency

0.75 to 0.92. Test-retest scores 0.78 to 0.98, and neurodiagnostic

correlations 0.70 to 0.98. Some scores correlated significantly with

the “gold standard” Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale.

Conclusion

NIS is associated with alarmingly high rates of youth

suicide attempt. The new neuropsychological measure demon-

strates practical screening value in unobvious NIS proposed to

represent a heretofore unrecognized neural mechanism.

Introduction

Suicide is one of the main causes of premature mor-

tality in Belarus. It is well recognized that drinking is among the

major risk factors that are associated with suicidal behavior.

Aims

This study was design to extend our understanding the

relationship between alcohol and suicidal behavior.

Methods

Risk factors for suicidal behavior (completed suicide

and parasuicide) among residents of Minsk city and Gomel city

were studied.

Results

Among the residents of Minsk themaximum suicides risk

was in the age of 46–60 years, and parasuicide at age 20–39 years.

The ratio of men to women - 4:1; they were often BAC-positive

(from38.8% in2015 to 42% in2008). Among parasuicides sex ratio of

about 1:1; 30% ofmen aged 20–39 years, were BAC-positive. Studies

in the city of Gomel, has shown maximum number of parasuicides

in the ages of 18–29 years (39.3% inwomen and 30.7%men). Among

parasuicides the majority of men (57.8%) and a significant propor-

tion of women (34.2%) were BAC-positive. Maximum number of

those attempted suicide and dependent on alcohol were among

men ages 30–39 years (66.15%) and 50–59 years (65.22%), among

women in the age 30–39 years (45.45%).

Conclusions

Acute alcohol intoxication is characteristic of young

people who commit parasuicide. Chronic alcohol intoxication is a

risk factor in middle-aged persons who commit suicide. Prolonged

use of alcohol contributes to the development of comorbid men-

tal disorders, during the crisis of middle age is manifested as an

increased risk of suicides.

Introduction

Physician Suicide is a potential health risks result-

ing from strains and burden associated with medical education

and profession. Suicide is an occupational hazard. Each year in the

United States, 300 to 400 physicians take their own lives.

Objective

To provide a summary about physician suicide and its

risk factors and mental health issues associated.

Methods

The search was conducted using PubMed with terms:

“suicide in physicians”, “physician suicide”, “suicide in doctors”,

“physician depression”, by using a review of literature with doc-

uments in English.

Discussion

Suicide is a major health problem. Suicide death is

a self-inflicted with evidence that the person aims die. Men-

tal disorders represent a large burden of disease worldwide and

can also damage to physical health. The most common psy-

chiatric diagnoses among physicians who complete suicide are

affective disorders, alcoholism, and substance use disorders. In

physicians, the female suicide rates are higher than that in males.

The most common means of suicide by physicians are lethal

medication overdoses and firearms. There are common risk fac-

tors, such as work-related stress, depression, negative life events,

alcohol and isolation. In addition, there is a physicians’ ten-

dency not to recognize depression in themselves and not to seek

help.

Conclusions

Prioritize to physician mental health, change pro-

fessional attitudes and institutional policies, learn to recognize

depression and suicidality, educate medical students, residents,

routinely screen all primary care patients for depression that can

help physicians recognize depression in themselves and to seek

treatment for depression and suicidality because there is “no health

without mental health”.

Introduction

Suicide is a major public health issue. It is the lead-

ing cause of death among younger adults in the UK. Suicide by

jumping is an uncommon method. About 23 people die each year

by jumping from the cliffs at beachy head, Sussex. The beachy

head chaplaincy established a suicide-prevention patrol at beachy

head in August 2004. To date there have been no studies eval-

uating the impact of a suicide patrol as a prevention strategy.

This study aimed to assess the impact of this suicide-prevention

patrol.

Methods

Data from local and national official statistics was gath-

ered to examine the overall suicide numbers and rates of suicide

by jumping vs. other methods. This included an in-depth scrutiny

of coroners’ data and reports from the beachy head chaplaincy.

A qualitative, phenomenological approach using in-depth inter-

views was used to evaluate the “lived experiences” of members

of the suicide-prevention patrol.

Results

The statistics reveal unexpected and at times, conflicting,

results which will be offered for discussion.

The thematic analysis of the interviews reveals insights into the

motivations for volunteering; how a faith-based patrol works; the

physical and psycho-social impact of the work; volunteers’ stories;

the centrality of God within their work and motivation.

For copyright reasons full details of the analyses cannot be made

available before the conference.

Discussion

We welcome an interactive discussion of the results.
