Perceived Burdensomeness Is Uniquely Associated with Suicidal Ideation Severity in University Clinic Outpatients with Social Anxiety Disorder

We assessed the contributions of thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness to suicidal ideation severity, over clinical covariates, in individuals diagnosed with SAD who were seeking services at a University-based Psychology Clinic. Perceived burdensomeness was significantly positively related to suicidal ideation severity over thwarted belongingness, rumination, depression, and agitation.
