This study examined the association between suicidality, family factors, and clinical and diagnostic variables in depressed adult inpatients. The subjects were 121 depressed adult inpatients living with a family member or significant other. Demographic, clinical, and diagnostic information about the patient, and subjective and observer ratings of family functioning were obtained. Trained interviewers rated families of suicidal depressed patients as more dysfunctional than families of patients with no history of attempted suicide. In a logistic regression model, earlier age of depression onset, number of psychiatric hospitalizations, and objectively rated poorer family communication were associated with a history of a prior suicide attempt. Also, modest evidence suggested that patients with a prior suicide attempt perceived their families as more dysfunctional than did their respective family members. Variations in family functioning are associated with different degrees of suicidality. However, prospective longitudinal designs would elucidate the causal relation between family dysfunction and suicidal behavior.
