The authors determined differential clinical correlates of active suicidal ideation vs. passive death wish in elderly patients with recurrent major depression. Measures of lifetime suicidal behavior and ratings of suicidal ideation, hopelessness, and depression determined "ideator" status. Active and Passive Ideators as well as Non-Ideators were then compared. Sixty percent of Active Ideators endorsed disgust or self-hatred items on the Beck Depression Inventory, compared with only 25% of Passive Ideators and 20% of Non-Ideators. However, these data challenge the clinical utility of distinguishing active and passive suicidal ideation among such patients because the two groups overall appear to be more alike than different, and ideator status (passive vs. active) may change during an episode. Clinicians should therefore not be less clinically vigilant if such patients' suicidal ideation is "only" passive.
