Summary/Abstract: Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the world, and depression is among the top causes of morbidity and mortality at international level. The main complication of any depression is precisely suicidal behavior, with all its facets. The present work is a succinct study aimed at highlighting the main categories of motivations that lead to suicidal behaviors in the spectrum of depression. The group of patients selected for this study presents all possible variants of diagnoses in the spectrum of endogenous depressions. The research reveals data on psychotic motivation, motivations in the socio-familial and professional sphere, as well as the correlation between the present suicidal behavior and the clinical form of depression. The findings emphasize once again the imperative need not to neglect any of the symptoms of depression, from anxiety to delusional hallucinatory phenomena, in correlation with the patient's entire bio-psycho-social context, to support the prevention of any form of suicidal behavior.
