Animal models of suicide-trait-related behaviors Malkesman O; Pine DS; Tragon T; Austin DR; Henter ID; Chen G; Manji HKTrends Pharmacol Sci 2009[Apr]; 30 (4): 165-73Although antidepressants are moderately effective in treating major depressive disorder (MDD), concerns have arisen that selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are associated with suicidal thinking and behavior, especially in children, adolescents and young adults. Almost no experimental research in model systems has considered the mechanisms by which SSRIs might be associated with this potential side effect in some susceptible individuals. Suicide is a complex behavior and impossible to fully reproduce in an animal model. However, by investigating traits that show strong cross-species parallels in addition to associations with suicide in humans, animal models might elucidate the mechanisms by which SSRIs are associated with suicidal thinking and behavior. Traits linked with suicide in humans that can be successfully modeled in rodents include aggression, impulsivity, irritability and hopelessness/helplessness. Modeling these relevant traits in animals can help to clarify the impact of SSRIs on these traits, suggesting avenues for reducing suicide risk in this vulnerable population.|Aggression/physiology[MESH]|Aging/psychology[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Behavior/*physiology[MESH]|Depressive Disorder, Major/complications/drug therapy/psychology[MESH]|Disease Models, Animal[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Impulsive Behavior/psychology[MESH]|Irritable Mood[MESH]|Suicide/*psychology[MESH] |
