Empathy, psychopathology and suicidal behavior: a case–control study
Empathy does not differ between suicidal and non-suicidal psychiatric patients. Psychopathology is related to empathic PD and FS. The relation is stronger in individuals with no psychiatric conditions than in psychiatric patients or suicide attempters. Emotional and self-oriented dimensions of empathy could contribute to the identification of people at risk of suicidal behavior.
