dc.descriptionConsidering that suicide attempts in young mexicans have increased recently and psychological and social variables have been remained unclear, it is important to identify risk factors associated with suicide behaviors for preventive purposes. Previous research gives a guide of many causal factors such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, depression, adictions, history of affective family disorders, among many others. Therefore, this study tries to identify social, psychological and biological factors associated with attempted suicide, by comparing a group of people who have tried to kill themselves recently with a group of people without history of mental disorders or suicidal behavior. There were 69 participants between 19 and 45 years old. The results shows that people with suicide attempt have changed partners in their lifes more often than people in control group. Also, people with suicide attempt abused illicit drugs most frequently not alcohol or tobacco, and there was more violence in relationships in people with suicide attempt. Cortisol levels had a significant difference between control and experimental groups at the later hours of the day, being higher levels in the experimental group. As a conclusion, depressive symptomatology and levels of cortisol are considered as one of the most important risk factors for suicide attempt.
