title: Suicide, Satisfaction With Life, and Insight Capacity Among Adolescents With Mental Disorders.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Little is known about the role of insight and satisfaction with life in adolescent suicidal behavior.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between suicide risk, insight, and satisfaction with life among adolescents with mental disorders.
  
  
  METHODS
  A total of 30 adolescents were evaluated using self-report measures of insight, satisfaction with life, and suicide risk. Regression analysis was used to assess the contribution of each factor to suicide risk.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Positive correlations were found between suicide risk and insight dimensions. Satisfaction with life correlated negatively with suicide risk and insight dimensions. Insight explained 27.3% of suicide risk (p = .003). Both insight and satisfaction with life explained 39.0% of suicide risk (p = .031).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Among adolescents with mental disorders, insight is a risk factor, whereas satisfaction with life is a protective factor for suicidality. Insight affects suicide risk of adolescents with mental disorders via reduction of satisfaction with life.
