Literature had underscored the importance of a biopsychosocial model in the assessment and treatment of mental illness, e.g., depression and suicidality following stressful life events [33]. Such a multidimensional framework could be useful in understanding assessment of mental illness in suicide attempters in Singapore [34]. However, there remained a paucity of recent large-scale research in Singapore to examine the variables clinicians used to diagnose mental illness and assess suicide risk for suicide attempters in Singapore. Recent large-scale studies on suicide attempters in Singapore indicated that gender and ethnicity contributed to suicide risk and protective factors and suicide lethality [25, 26], and psychosocial variables added to the complex clinical profile of suicide attempters in Singapore [29]. Considered together with our previous studies [25, 26, 29], the study of mental illness in suicide attempters in Singapore would add further insight, to inform our public mental health policies, and targeted suicide prevention strategies, especially for those at heightened risk for suicide and mental illness [35]. Mental illness increased the risk of suicide attempt; this dimension should be considered as an important therapeutic target to substantially advance our primary prevention efforts [36].
