Introduction

Hypomentalizing may contribute to heightened social withdrawal and it has been related with an increased risk of and suicide attempt (SA). Although certain studies have identified a relationship between hypomentalizing and suicidal behavior, research on follow-up remains limited.

Objectives

This study aims to examine the relationship between suicide reattempt and the progression of mentalizing within 12-months.

Methods

Our study included a cohort of 1,374 patients who committed a SA. We conducted assessments at the baseline and at a 12-months follow-up. We measured mentalizing using the RFQ-8, and evaluations of suicidal ideation and behavior employing the CSRSS. Demographics, clinical characteristics, and mentalizing were subjected to comparative analysis using the T-student and Chi-square tests.

Results

A total of 310 participants committed a suicide reattempt in the follow-up period. Our results showed that reattempt group were significantly younger, more presence of female gender, suicidal ideation and planning, more previous SA, and higher hypomentalizing means.

Conclusions

Social cognition may play a crucial role in the suicide reattempt risk. Future research on the association between social cognition and suicidal behavior could help elucidate the associated factors and identify potential therapeutic actions.
