Abstract :
Background:
Lower levels of circulating lipids is risk factor for suicide in depressive disorder. A reduced serum cholesterol level may be accompanied by changes in viscosity and function of serotonin receptors and transporter, thus predisposing to suicidal behaviour.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 100 depressive patients (50 suicidal and non-suicidal) and 100 healthy matched control subjects were recruited from mental hospital, Indore and lipid profile was measured.
Results:
Suicidal depression patient group has shown significantly less Total Cholesterol, Triglyceride, LDL-c, VLDL-c than Non-Suicidal depression patient group
Conclusion:
Lower levels of serum cholesterol is predictor of suicidal behaviour in depressive disorder.
