Abstract
Personality disorders are a major risk factor for suicidal behavior. In psychological autopsy studies, individuals with personality disorders (especially borderline personality disorder) are common among suicides. We performed careful Pubmed, and PsycInfo searches from 1980 to 2010. Search terms were "suicide", "personality disorders", "suicide prevention" (and related terms). We identified studies dealing with suicide and reviewed research on the following areas of interest: risk factors for suicide in personality disorders and intervention tactics to prevent suicide. © 2012 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
