Results We found that frequency of suicidal attempts is more in MDD (major depressive disorder), bipolar disorders followed by schizophrenia. And frequency of suicidal attempts in patients with multiple previous attempts before this one was higher in patients with mood disorders (53.8%) than psychotic and substance-induced disorders (32.3%, 13.8% respectively), with statistically significant difference in patients with MDD as well as there was significant treatment outcome on suicidal behavior. Conclusion The frequency of suicidal attempts is more in MDD (major depressive disorder), bipolar disorders followed by schizophrenia.
