An information providing method as an aspect may include measuring the methylation level at a specific site or the expression level of a specific gene to effectively predict the possibility of suicide attempt or provide information for predicting or diagnosing the onset of depression. The composition as an aspect may include an agent for measuring the level of methylation at a specific site or the expression level of a specific gene, and may be effectively used for predicting the likelihood of a suicide attempt, or predicting or diagnosing the onset of depression. The diagnostic kit as an aspect may include the composition and can be effectively used to predict the likelihood of a suicide attempt or predict or diagnose the onset of depression.
