OBJECTIVES: Understand the contributive factors for suicidality among elderly.BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Suicidal behaviour in the elderly is a major public health issue in many countries, including Portugal, with devastating effects on families and the community. The rate of completed suicide increases with age, specially people aged 75 years and over. Generally, the methods chosen by the elderly are more lethal and they show fewer warning signs, comparing to younger population. The aim of the present study was to investigate recent findings concerning risk factors for suicidal behaviour among the elderly.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A review of the literature was performed to identify risks factors for suicide among older adults. PubMed database was used to search articles, covering the last 3 years, using the following keywords u201csuicideu201d; u201crisk factorsu201d; u201celderlyu201d.RESULTS: The literature shows that the main risk factors for suicidal behaviour among elderly can be grouped into clinical (psychiatric and neurocognitive disorders; physical illness, physical/psychological pain) and psychosocial (social exclusion, loneliness, bereavement) risk factors. Other age-related factors may contribute to understand suicidal vulnerability in the elderly. Altered decision making and impaired social emotion recognition can lead to inadequate coping strategies facing adverse events. In addition, the decrease executive control and lack of cognitive inhibition may trigger suicidal behaviours.CONCLUSIONS: These factors demonstrate the complexity of the theme. However, it also reminds us the importance of an adequate diagnosis and management of the clinical condition and alert us for social measures that must be considered to assure the sense of belongingness, social support and reinforcement of interpersonal relationships.

This book provides a comprehensive view of rational suicide in the elderly, a group that has nearly twice the rate of suicide when chronically ill than any other demographic. Its frame of reference does not endorse a single point-of-view about the legitimacy of rational suicide, which is evolving across societies with little guidance for geriatric mental health professionals. Instead, it serves as a resource for both those clinicians who agree that older people may rationally commit suicide and those who believe that this wish may require further assessment and treatment. The first chapters of the book provides an overview of rational suicide in the elderly, examining it through history and across cultures also addressing the special case of baby boomers. This book takes an ethical and philosophical look at whether suicide can truly be rational and whether the nearness of death in late-life adults means that suicide should be considered differently than in younger adults. Clinical criteria for rational suicide in the elderly are proposed in this book for the first time, as well as a guidelines for the psychosocial profile of an older adult who wants to commit rational suicide. Unlike any other book, this text examines the existential, psychological, and psychodynamic perspectives. A chapter on terminal mental illness and a consideration of suicide in that context and proposed interventions even without a diagnosable mental illness also plays a vital role in this book as these are key issues in within the question of suicide among the elderly. This book is the first to consider all preventative measures, including the spiritual as well as the psychotherapeutic, and pharmacologic. A commentary on modern society, aging, and rational suicide that ties all of these elements together, making this the ultimate guide for addressing suicide among the elderly. Rational Suicide in the Elderly is an excellent resource for all medical professionals with potentially suicidal patients, including geriatricians, geriatric and general psychiatrists, geriatric nurses, social workers, and public health officials.

"When I joined the Air Force in 2005, hostilities in Iraq were escalating, resulting in more frequent and longer deployments for just about everyone serving in the military, including psychologists. Soon thereafter, the suicide rate among military personnel also started to rise, especially in the Army and Marine Corps. During the first few years of that upward trend, the general sense was that the military was just having a few "bad years." In 2008, however, the age- and gender-adjusted Army and Marine suicide rates surpassed the U.S. general population rate. By the time I deployed to Iraq in February 2009, the military suicide rate had been rising steadily for three consecutive years; the initial assumption that we were simply experiencing a few bad years had dissolved, and an uncomfortable recognition that we had a clear problem on our hands had taken hold"--

This is the first large-scale study of suicide in a population of institutionalized older adults. From their findings, the authors identify the most at risk groups and highlight the major factors contributing to suicide in older adults in institutions. The study described in this work employed a sample survey design. More than 1000 administrators of long-term care facilities in the United States were randomly selected and surveyed about their staff and facilities, and the incidence and type of suicidal behaviors which occurred among residents in 1984 and 1985. Results of the study confirmed that suicidal behavior occurred in approximately 20 percent of the facilities who responded. High risk groups of residents included white males and the old-old (75 years and older). The survey reveals that certain environmental factors such as the size of the facility, staff turnover rate, per diem cost, and auspices (public, private, and religious) were related to the occurrence and outcome of suicidal behavior. Suggestions for suicide prevention, based on these findings, are also presented. The book is divided into three parts. Part One examines various types of long-term care facilities, including skilled nursing facilities, intermediate care facilities, and adult homes. Part Two highlights design, methodology, and findings from the national study of suicide in long-term care facilities. Case profiles of suicidal residents are included to provide a more personal account of suicide behavior, and to illustrate important factors in the older individual's decision to end her/his life. Case profiles of four institutions are also included to highlight environmental factors related to suicidal behavior. Part Three focuses on suicide prevention. Suggestions on the treatment of depression in the elderly, suicide prevention techniques, and the ethics of suicide are discussed in detail. This book makes valuable reading for professionals involved in the care of the elderly.
