An investigation of the relationships between suicidal ideation, psychache, and meaning in life using network analysis.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have investigated the relationships between psychache or meaning in life and suicidal ideation based on sum score of corresponding scale. However, this practice has hampered the fine-grained understanding of their relationships.

Suicidal ideation, psychache, and meaning in life were measured using self-rating scales among 738 adults.
