Suicide ideation, cognitive distortions, impulsivity, and sadness in young adulthood Analysis

Despite the widespread research work on suicidal ideation,
cognitive distortion, impulsivity and depression from diverse
perspectives, little research has directly examined the cognitive attributes
underlying impulsive behaviour in adults. Thus, an understanding of
cognitive distortions underlying the initiation and/or maintenance of
impulsive behaviour is a vital prerequisite to the development of
successful therapeutic interventions. It has been suggested that
individuals with psychological problems have a tendency to make
negative interpretations and dysfunctional predictions of events. It
remains unclear how impulsive individuals interpret the situations that
may contribute to their unplanned, rapid reactions with disregard to the
consequences of behavior.
