Aim of Study impulsivity and its relation to different self harm behaviors, specifically suicidal attempts, is an ongoing field of study which has already been widely discussed. Yet to this date, the relationship remains unclear and somewhat confusing. Possible explanations for this might be due to the fact that impulsivity is an ill-defined concept leading to numerous definitions used by different studies and the fact that it has a trait and state aspect to it. Clinical experience and theory leads to the assumption that impulsivity plays a very important role in suicide. Novel research in the field of decision making could possibly lead to a breakthrough in improving assessment and prevention of suicide attempts and learning more of this complex relationship.
