['Concerns have been raised about the potential of deliberate self-harm and suicide among patients with dermatologic conditions.', 'We sought to estimate the prevalence of suicidal ideation among patients with dermatologic conditions, and to identify demographic, clinical, and psychosocial correlates.', 'Two samples of outpatients with dermatologic conditions (N = 294) and inpatients (N = 172) completed the 12-item General Health Questionnaire, the Skindex-29, and the Patient Health Questionnaire.', 'Forty patients (8.6%) reported suicidal ideation during the previous 2 weeks. In univariate analysis, the presence of suicidal ideation was associated with female sex, inpatient status, presence of a depressive or anxiety disorder, and higher 12-item General Health Questionnaire and Skindex-29 scores. The size of the diagnostic groups allowed reasonable prevalence estimates only for psoriasis (10%) and acne (7.1%). In multivariate analysis, only emotional distress (12-item General Health Questionnaire) and impaired social functioning (Skindex-29) were independently associated with suicidal ideation.'] Does prevalence and correlate of suicidal ideation among patients with skin disease?
