Suicide is a major public health concern. Understanding the psychological mechanisms that drive the progression from suicidal ideation to suicide attempts is crucial for improving suicide prevention and risk detection. Traditional approaches often treat risk factors as isolated variables, thereby overlooking the complex interplay between symptoms. The network approach to psychopathology offers an alternative perspective by conceptualizing mental health problems as dynamic systems of interacting symptoms. The currtent study aimed to investigate how symptom networks differ between individuals with a history of suide attempts and those with suicidal ideation. One way to compare these networks is by examining centrality: some symptoms are more central within the network, meaning they have a greater influence on the overall structure. Hypotheses were formulated based on the Integrated Motivational-Volitional (IMV) model of suicidal behaviour. When examining the network structures and the centrality measures, mixed support was found for the hypothesis. During the presentation, the background of suicide research and the theoretical framework, aswell as the methodological approach and key findings, will be discussed in more detail.
