Parents’ suicidal behavior can be transmitted to their children

Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that parental suicidal intent was an important predictor of suicidal intention. (Odds ratio, 4.79; 95% CI, 1.75-13.07), even with high-risk variables for their offspring, including mood disorders (odds ratio 4.20; 95% CI 1.37 to 12.86) (Odds ratio, 5.69; 95% CI, 1.94 to 16.74), and mood disorder before suicidal intention (OR, 11.32; 95% CI: 2.29-56.00).

The researchers report that the results of the path analysis [3] are consistent with the results described above and also show a direct effect of the suicidal intent of the parents on their children’s suicidal behavior.

At the same time, the results also showed that: At each time point, these children have a strong emotional disorder characteristics, and as a precursor to mood disorders, aggressive impulses are also often appear, showing the impact of parental suicide intention on the strong offspring.

“Early assessment and early intervention are particularly important for families with parents who have a history of emotional disorders and suicidal intentions,” the results also highlight.

In addition, they also suggested that the prevention of depression can also reduce the incidence of suicidal behavior between the parent-child transmission. Effective prophylactic intervention has been shown to reduce the incidence of depression in high-risk adolescents.

In fact, many parents with suicidal intentions also exhibit personality disorders, and effective interventions may be beneficial for parent-child relationships and functionally improve familial inheritance of their offspring.

Finally, they add: “Because aggressive impulses can be a precursor to mood disorders and thus increase the risk of suicide, helping young people overcome prominent irritability and aggressive impulses to achieve good mood regulation can reduce the risk of emotional disorders , Thereby reducing the risk of suicide and the role of emotional disorder under the suicide of the impulse.
