The referral forms of 241 patients who had attempted suicide were analyzed.</p> <p><bold>RESULTS:</bold> The mean age of the patients was 29.1 (SD=10.8) years, <italic>n=</italic>140 (58.1%) of the sample were women. Affective disorders were the most frequent diagnoses for both sexes. Women were more likely to delay seeking psychiatric care: 60 days versus 30 days of delay for men (p=0.009). Men were shown to more frequently resort to violent suicide methods. Both women and men who used violent suicide methods were shown to delay by more days the seeking of psychiatric care than those who were found to have used non-violent suicide methods.</p> <p><bold>CONCLUSION:</bold> We found that patients who use more violent methods of suicide took longer before seeking psychiatric care. This delay in accessing psychiatric care can be thought to contribute to the fact that completed suicides are more frequent within that category of patients. The majority of suicide attempts occurred in the 17–24 years age group; therefore, it seems reasonable to analyze the existing barriers to seeking psychiatric care, mainly in the young adult population, and to design strategies to bring mental health services closer to this population group.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>ВВЕДЕНИЕ: </bold>За последние 2 года в Мехико увеличилось число суицидов, которые, таким образом, стали второй по значимости причиной смерти среди взрослого населения молодого возраста.</p> <p><bold>ЦЕЛЬ: </bold>Описать гендерные различия суицидальных попыток с использованием насильственных способов с учетом диагностики психических расстройств и частоты обращения за психиатрической помощью.</p> <p><bold>МЕТОДЫ: </bold>Было проведено описательное ретроспективное исследование. Проанализированы анкеты 241 пациента, совершившего суицидальную попытку.</p> <p><bold>РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ: </bold>Средний возраст пациентов составил 29,1 (SD=10,8) года. Женщины составили 58,1% выборки (<italic>n=</italic>140). У пациентов обоих полов чаще всего диагностировали аффективные расстройства. Женщины с большей вероятностью откладывали обращение за психиатрической помощью по сравнению с мужчинами (задержка в обращении составила 60 дней по сравнению с 30 днями, соответственно, p=0,009). Установлено, что мужчины чаще прибегают к совершению суицида с использованием более травматичного способа. Также отмечено, что и женщины, и мужчины, использовавшие насильственный способ совершения суицидальной попытки, откладывали обращение за психиатрической помощью на большее число дней, чем те, которые применяли менее травматичные способы.</p> <p><bold>ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ: </bold>Мы пришли к выводу о том, что пациентам, которые использовали насильственные способы совершения суицидальной попытки, требовалось больше времени для принятия решения об обращении за психиатрической помощью. Можно предположить, что позднее обращение за психиатрической помощью способствует тому, что среди этой категории пациентов чаще регистрируют завершенные суициды. Большинство случаев суицидальных попыток зарегистрировано в возрастной группе 17–24 лет, поэтому представляется целесообразным проанализировать существующие препятствия к обращению за психиатрической помощью, в основном среди молодых взрослых, а также разработать стратегии по повышению доступности служб охраны психического здоровья для этой группы населения.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>suicide</kwd><kwd>violent suicide attempt</kwd><kwd>mental disorders</kwd><kwd>psychiatric emergencies</kwd><kwd>self-harm</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>суицид</kwd><kwd>суицидальная попытка с использованием насильственного способа</kwd><kwd>психические расстройства</kwd><kwd>экстренная психиатрическая помощь</kwd><kwd>самоповреждение</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Yard E, Radhakrishnan L, Ballesteros MF, et al.
