Mood Regulation and Suicidal Behavior

Abstract

The author summarizes what is known about mood regulation and related processes and how mood regulation is related to suicidal behavior. The author presents a tentative model for understanding stable individual differences in mood regulation processes and their link to suicidal behavior. The author's hope is that this tentative model will provide direction for suicide prevention and intervention as well as an agenda for further research on mood regulation and suicide.
