Abstract

Descriptive study in which the existence of the association of suicide with the study variables was established. We have used the observational method, with a source of direct data collection through a structured interview using a scale based on Beck deprecion form. In the results it was evident the significant association of depression with suicide attempt, since all study subjects showed some degree of depression, of which the groups that had more to do with the intendo suicide were males, with an average age of 30 years, primary education, and those who are married cohabiting co vivn. It is believed that in order to reduce the rate of suicide attempts should be treated early stages of depression as an indirect means of prevention, as demonstrated the association between these two variables
