Suicidalbehaviorandcomorbidsomaticdiseases (review)

Background: Suicidal behavior continues to be one of the most acute medical problems, the relevance of which continues to remain at a high level. The article presents an analysis of comorbidity theories by both foreign and domestic authors studying the medical aspects of suicide. The data on the prevalence of concomitant somatic disorders underlying suicidal behavior of patients are analyzed. The aim of the study:To analyze current data on the problem of suicidal behavior in patients with comorbid somatic diseases. Materials and methods: The analysis of 38 sources was carried out. The search was carried out in special medical resources, namely: RusMed, Medline, PubMed, and Web of Science. In addition, electronic libraries such as eLibrary were involved.RU, CyberLeninka and the Library of dissertations and abstracts of Russia dslib.net. We analyzed materials that dealt with the relationship between suicidal behavior and comorbid somatic pathology, that is, suicidality and other related phenomena: the stage of the suicidal process (suicide idea, suicide attempt, completed suicide, suicide risk with clinical characteristics of somatic disorders). Results: An attempt has been made to study the phenomenon of suicidal behavior in patients with somatic comorbidity. It was found that: there is a significant gap in research on suicidal behavior in patients with comorbid somatic conditions; the theoretical and methodological basis, conceptual approaches and principles of comorbidity in connection with suicidal behavior have not been formed; questions remain unexplored regarding the clinical-psychological, clinical-psychopathological and clinical-dynamic features of suicidal behavior in patients with comorbid somatic conditions suicidal behavior in comorbid conditions manifests itself at any age, that is, not only in older and elderly people. Conclusion: Comorbid diseases should be considered by non-psychiatric specialists as potentially suicidal conditions. The development and implementation of differentiated preventive programs is required

Keywords: suicidal behavior, comorbidity, prevention, suicide and somatic diseases.
