Suicide ideation cognitive distortions impulsivity and sadness in young adulthood Analysis

<p>Despite the widespread research work on suicidal ideation</p><p>cognitive distortion impulsivity and depression from diverse</p><p>perspectives little research has directly examined the cognitive attributes</p><p>underlying impulsive behaviour in adults. Thus an understanding of</p><p>cognitive distortions underlying the initiation and/or maintenance of</p><p>impulsive behaviour is a vital prerequisite to the development of</p><p>successful therapeutic interventions. It has been suggested that</p><p>individuals with psychological problems have a tendency to make</p><p>negative interpretations and dysfunctional predictions of events. It</p><p>remains unclear how impulsive individuals interpret the situations that</p><p>may contribute to their unplanned rapid reactions with disregard to the</p><p>consequences of behavior.</p>
