Background: Suicide has many causes, the most important of which is mental disorders which increase the prevalence of suicide which is essential to identify these factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of Axis II psychiatric disorders in drug and self-immolation suicide attempters compared to the control group.

After obtaining patient consent and demographic data, psychiatric disorders were recorded. Chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests were used to compare the data. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS v. 22.0
Results: The results of our study showed that there is no statistically significant difference in the incidence of suicide with demographic characteristics such as age, sex, marriage, occupation, economic status and place of residence. But it was found that the personality disorder, especially antisocial, schizoid, schizotypal and other abusive and paranoid, is significantly more in people with suicide attempts than the control group(p-value<0.05), but it was not related to the type of suicide attempt, except for the abusive-aggressive one, which in People with poisoning were significantly more than the control group, but no significant statistical difference was found between people with self-immolation and the control group(p-value<0.05).
Conclusion: Considering the importance of Axis II disorder with higher incidence of suicide, it is recommended to conduct comprehensive research on Axis II disorder and suicidal ideation among young population and to predict the predictive role of Axis II disorder and suicidal ideation.
