Research Notes on Bipolar Disorder and Suicide Risk


"Bipolar disorder is accompanied by a high risk for self-injury and suicide when untreated or when patients experience limited response to treatment. Those with comorbid alcohol or substance abuse or dependence are at greater risk for suicide, as are those who have made previous suicide attempts. Assessment of suicide risk is a complex and multidimensional task, and should be an ongoing aspect of interactions between care providers and the patient." —Trisha Suppes, M.D., Ph.D., and Ellen B. Dennehy, Ph.D., Bipolar Disorder: The Latest Assessment and Treatment Strategies (Compact Clinicals, 2005)
