Abstract
Neurobiochemical studies about suicidal behaviour focus on a serotonin deficiency concept. Electrodermal studies using peripheral electroder mal activity (EDA) marker could also show a relationship between nonre sponse/hyperactivity in a habituation paradigma and so-called violent suicidal behaviour. Results of a study with depressed inpatients recei ving a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI; paroxetine) are r eported with regard to the influence of SSRI on EDA-parameters.
