Introduction

Recent evidence suggests that electrodermal reactivity could be useful in identifying individuals with high suicide risk.

Aim

To evaluate the relevance of electrodermal oriented reactivity for the discrimination of high suicide risk cases among major depressive disorder patients.

Material and Methods

60 adult major depressive disorder patients (as diagnosed by using the ICD-10 criteria) were included, of which 30 were identified as having a significant suicide risk by using the Paykel Suicide Scale. Electrodermal reactivity was tested by using the EDOR test.

Results

No statistical significant difference was identified, although a certain tendency was obvious.

Conclusions

The use of electrodermal reactivity tests seems promising in identifying individuals with high suicide risk.
