Description
Suicide risk factors among rural older adults with hoarding disorder are charted by Branden Schaff and co-authors in a 2024 study. A third of such adults also face major depression, and rural life can deepen loneliness and thin out help. Forty-four adults, average age sixty-nine, took baseline tests in a home-visit program.
None had ever attempted suicide, and only two had started and stopped an attempt. Still, about thirty percent had wished to be dead. Standard scales measured mood, social ties, and support. The gap between dark wishes and rare attempts matters for screening: quiet ideation is common in this group and easy to miss without direct questions.
