abstract="This study evaluated the impact of comorbid OCD on suicide attempt risk and suicide methods in 990 patients with main diagnosis of BD. Two hundred and one patients (20.3%) had lifetime comorbid OCD. No significant differences were found comparing rates of lifetime suicide attempts between patients with or without comorbid OCD (30.3% vs 24.6%). In the subgroup of patients with concomitant OCD more subjects performed suicide attempts with violent methods (48.3% vs 28.7%). Therefore, our results suggest a correlation between comorbid OCD and violent suicide attempts. This finding is worthy of interest and deserves to be explored by further studies.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
