Sažetak
A proportion of Croatian war veterans with chronic combat related PTSD showed suicidal behaviour. Therefore, further studies are underway to enlarge the groups and to elucidate the association between biological and genetic biomarkers and suicidal behaviour in PTSD, to facilitate the early identification of the subjects prone to develop suicidal behaviour, to predict suicidal behaviour, and to properly treat suicidal patients in order to prevent suicidal attempts.
