Overview

Brief Summary

This study will try to provide a better understanding of the psychological, cognitive and electrophysiological factors that contribute to suicide in depressed patients.

Detailed Description

Objectives:

  1. To investigate the ability of qEEG to suspect suicidal potential in patients diagnosed with major depression.
  2. To test the ability of some psychological and cognitive elements in determining the likelihood of suicide in such patients.
  3. To give an objective and more reliable method than traditional questionnaires to assess the seriousness of suicidal ideations in patients suffering from depression who usually don't reveal their actual intentions.
