Depression is a disease that has been present for all time and suicide has been associated with it. This research was carried out with the aim of characterizing the biopsychosocial status of patients with suicide risk. A descriptive cross-sectional observational study was carried out in patients with suicide risk in the health area corresponding to the polyclinic "Faustino Pérez Hernández" in the municipality of Buey Arriba in 2019. The universe was 33 patients. The variables studied were: age, sex, family functioning, personal or family history of suicide attempt and depression. Female patients predominated (54, 54%) and the group from 48 to 57 years of age (27.27%); it turned out that 39.30% of the patients came from a dysfunctional family, 66.60% had parents or siblings with suicide attempts; depression levels were high as a trait (39.3%) and high as a state (57.5%). It is concluded that the suicide risk in the study population was characterized by being more frequent in the female sex, especially in patients with family dysfunction, relatives with a history of suicide attempts and a state of high depression as a trait and state.
