TY - JOUR PY - 1992// TI - Psychotic symptoms and suicidal behavior in hospitalized children JO - American journal of psychiatry A1 - Livingston, R. A1 - Bracha, H. Stefan SP - 1585 EP - 1586 VL - 149 IS - 11 N2 - Association of psychotic symptoms with suicidal behavior was studied in 90 hospitalized prepubertal children. Children with psychotic symptoms were more likely to have threatened or attempted suicide. The association of visual hallucinations with suicidal behavior was stronger than that of auditory hallucinations or psychotic ideation. The authors speculate that psychosis in general and visual hallucinations especially may be indicators of suicide risk among children.
