Abstract :

The suicide attempt and suicide possess characteristics that differentiate them from accidents or expected deaths, family members are exposed to the development of psychopathologies such as anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress and depressive or somatic episodes[i], without receiving medical or psychological care, so this research aimed to determine through the IDARE scale the degree of anxiety and through IDERE the level of depression presented by parents who have a child with suicidal intent. Participated 32 parents from the State of Mexico. The results show significant differences attributable to the gender in Anxiety and Depression in the Trait-Scale; In particular mothers tend to have higher levels of anxiety and depression.
