The Present study examined the effect of depression and impulsivity on adolescent suicidal behavior. The results showed that impulsivity was not significant in predicting suicidal ideation and mostly depression was correlated with suicidal ideation, while suicidal ideation interact with impulsivity to have an effect on suicidal attempt. The more adolescents have suicidal ideations, the more suicidal attempts increase even after impulsivity was statistically controlled. These results suggest the necessity of emotional support and impulse control training for depressed adolescents to prevent suicidal behavior.
