Abstract
A childhood version of the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (K-SADS) was used to assess 140 consecutive admissions to an adolescent psychiatric inpatient unit. Depression scale scores were correlated with the suicidality scale scores. Suicidality scores on the K-SADS were higher in adolescents diagnosed as having conduct disorder (CD) than in those diagnosed as having major depressive disorder (MDD), even though the CD patients were less depressed than the MDD patients. Aggression and impulsivity may be factors as important as depression in some kinds of suicidal behaviors. A hypothesis is suggested to explain the interrelationship among depression, aggression, and suicidal behavior.

A two-step model of countervailing forces has been developed that identifies amplifiers and attenuators of the aggressive impulse and has enabled us to determine a set of variables that influence suicide but not violence and another set that influences violence but not suicide.

It is proposed that the concept of 'attempted suicide' as a form of communication leads to the hypothesis that suicidal attempts should occur in socially-linked groups of individuals with a frequency greater than would be expected from a sample of the general population matched for those demographic factors known to influence rates of attempted suicide.
