HSA: High-Lethality Suicide Attempters, LSA: Low-Lethality Suicide Attempters, SI: Suicide Ideators, D: Depressed control subjects, HC: Healthy Control subjects.

NS: Non significant.

ηp2: Partial Eta squared

*

N=100 (one healthy control and one low-lethality suicide attempter were missing the MMSE score).

**

Gender and education did not explain significant variance in any of the models.
