Overview

Observational study reveals depression directly drives suicidal ideation in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, highlighting the critical need for targeted psychiatric screening.

Key Points

  • To investigate the relationships among multiple sclerosis, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation.
  • Evaluated 132 patients diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
  • Assessed clinical disability and psychiatric symptoms using the Expanded Disability Status Scale, Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSI), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.
  • Applied hierarchical regression analysis to determine factors predictive of suicidal ideation.
  • The hierarchical regression model significantly predicted suicidal ideation scores (R² = 0.306, adjusted R² = 0.273, F(9, 125) = 9.18, p < 0.0005).
  • Depression severity on the BDI-II was the only variable that contributed significantly to the predictive model for suicidal ideation (p < 0.0005).
