INTRODUÇÃO: O suicídio é um grave problema de saúde pública, com cerca de 700 mil mortes anuais, segundo a OMS. No Brasil, é a segunda principal causa de morte entre adolescentes (15-19 anos) e a quarta entre jovens (20-29 anos), com homens apresentando risco 3,8 vezes maior que mulheres. Fatores de risco incluem transtornos mentais, como depressão, frequentemente tratados com antidepressivos, que podem, em alguns casos, aumentar o risco suicida. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a prevalência do uso de antidepressivos nos pacientes do Hospital Universitário Evangélico Mackenzie que foram admitidos por tentativa de suicídio, no período de janeiro de 2024 a agosto de 2024. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal, observacional, quantitativo, baseado na análise de prontuários de pacientes maiores de 18 anos atendidos no Hospital Universitário Evangélico Mackenzie, em Curitiba-PR, por tentativa de suicídio no período especificado. RESULTADOS: Foram incluídos 57 pacientes, sendo 56,14% mulheres, com idade média de 33,23 anos, predominantemente brancos (77,19%). Transtornos de humor afetaram 50,88% (28,07% com transtorno depressivo maior, 22,81% com transtorno bipolar); 28,07% não relataram transtornos psiquiátricos. Intoxicação exógena foi o método mais comum (47%), seguida por trauma (30%). Apenas 31,58% usavam antidepressivos, principalmente ISRS, com maior uso entre mulheres. CONCLUSÃO: A prevalência de uso de antidepressivos entre os pacientes internados por tentativa de suicídio no período analisado foi de 31,58%, sendo os inibidores seletivos da recaptação de serotonina (ISRS) a classe mais utilizada. A maioria dos pacientes não fazia uso de medicação psicotrópica, com maior prevalência de uso entre mulheres (38,71%) em comparação aos homens (24,00%).
INTRODUCTION: Suicide is a major public health issue, with approximately 700,000 deaths annually, according to the WHO. In Brazil, it is the second leading cause of death among adolescents (15-19 years) and the fourth among young adults (20-29 years), with men facing a 3.8 times higher risk than women. Risk factors include mental disorders, such as depression, often treated with antidepressants, which may, in some cases, increase suicidal risk. OBJECTIVES: To assess the prevalence of antidepressant use among patients admitted for suicide attempts at Hospital Universitário Evangélico Mackenzie between January and August 2024. METHODS: A cross-sectional, observational, quantitative study based on the review of medical records of patients over 18 years admitted for suicide attempts at Hospital Universitário Evangélico Mackenzie in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, during the specified period. RESULTS: The study included 57 patients, 56.14% female, with a mean age of 33.23 years, predominantly white (77.19%). Mood disorders affected 50.88% (28.07% with major depressive disorder, 22.81% with bipolar disorder); 28.07% reported no psychiatric history. Exogenous intoxication was the most common method (47%), followed by trauma (30%). Only 31.58% were using antidepressants, mainly SSRIs, with higher use among women. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of antidepressant use among patients admitted for suicide attempts during the study period was 31.58%, with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) being the most used class. Most patients were not using any psychotropic medication, and antidepressant use was more prevalent among women (38.71%) than men (24.00%).
