Method: Descriptive, transversal, community, case-control study, including 48 cases and 48 controls. All participants were interviewed, sociodemographic data were collected and was made a psychiatric diagnosis using the Research Diagnostics Criteria (RDC). The Scale for Suicide Ideation, Depression, Anxiety, Hopelessness, Impulsivity, MALT, MMPI-2 and a questionnaire of life-events items were applied. Results: Controls had a higher proportion of current depression (68.7 vs. 45.8%; z = 2.06, p = 0.03). Among the repeaters the percentage of depression was higher than among no-repeaters (87.5 vs. 50%; z = 2.49, p = 0.01) and they had a significant higher score in BDI and BHS. Conclussions: A high proportion of people suffer from some psychiatric disorder years after a parasuicide. This proportion is higher among repeaters. Copyright © 2008 Aran Ediciones, S. L.
