Suicidal risk and psychopathological profiles in adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders: an Italian multicentric study by Ramona Cardillo, Ramona Cardillo, Irene Di Modica, Francesca Cucinotta, Federica Galletta, Alessia Raffagnato, Marcella Di Cara, Carmela De Domenico, Eva Germanò, Sara Carucci, Giuseppe Abbracciavento, Rita Murtas, Alessia Donia, Giuliana Bonelli, Serenella Grittani, Evamaria Lanzarini, Arianna Accetta, Martina Pirrone, Carola Costanza, Rosamaria Siracusano, Clemente Cedro, Clemente Cedro, Michela Gatta, Antonella Gagliano, Antonella Gagliano

“…The study aims to define a specific neuropsychological and psychopathological profile associated with suicidal behaviors in adolescents and pre-adolescents with NDDs (11–18 years). In a sample of 127 NDDs adolescents (60 females and 67 males), with and without SSB, several variables were compared through standardized measures, including emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, and irritability as well as environmental risk factors.ResultsThe results of this study are consistent with the literature data and suggest that emotional dysregulation (p <.001) as an individual factor and Adverse Childhood Experiences (p = .002), as environmental factors, play a key role in promoting suicidality in pre-adolescents and adolescents with NDDs.DiscussionThis awareness prompts the implementation of useful prevention methods during the clinical follow-up of individuals with NDDs.…”
