Based on our findings, Cluster B personality disorders are strong
and unique predictors of future suicide attempts among depressed
ideators. Notably, borderline personality disorder is the first
robustly replicated predictor of attempts over and above ideation in
the literature (Conrad et al., 2009; Bolton et al., 2010). Borderline
personality has long been associated with suicide attempts and is
the only other disorder in the DSM-IV, aside from depression, that
includes suicidality as a symptom (APA, 2000; Yen et al., 2003).
Since Axis I disorders are generally more episodic and personality
disorders are by definition more long-term and chronic; it follows
that they may be more important in predicting suicide risk over the
long-term. A study of inpatients found that those with both major
depressive disorder and borderline personality disorder were more
likely to have attempted suicide and to have a greater number of
suicide attempts than individuals with either depression or
borderline personality disorder alone (Soloff et al., 2000). The
