Answer to Question 1

Suicidal ideation and behavior range from thoughts of suicide to plans for suicide to the completed act. Some acts, called parasuicides, are behaviors such as superficial cutting of wrists or ingestion of non-lethal substances. But lethality may not always be related to intent. For example, a woman who ingests a non-lethal substance that she believes is lethal does have the intention of ending her life. It all depends on what the person believes will result from the action taken.

Answer to Question 2

The co-occurrence of anxiety and depression has been examined through twin studies in evaluating how the same genetic and environmental factors contribute to both disorders. The same genetic factors influence the risk for both disorders, but the environment may help shape and determine which state results. Vulnerability to anxiety and depression appear to involve the same gene(s) but different environments, explaining why they co-occur so frequently.
