Abstract

The number of suicide attempts and related deaths among adolescents is increasing every day. Although suicide presents a problem for the general population, it is a more serious problem for those with psychiatric diseases. Previous studies demonstrated the association between inflammation and psychiatric disease. Thus, we aim to investigate the relationship between adolescent suicide attempts and the inflammatory biomarker C-reactive protein (CRP).
