TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Bipolar affective disorders and suicide during psychiatric in-patient treatment JO - Archives of suicide research A1 - Wolfersdorf, Manfred G. A1 - Lehle, Bernd A1 - Adler, Lothar SP - 261 EP - 266 VL - 9 IS - 3 N2 - On the basis of the known literature and our own results on patients' suicide, reflections are made with regard to the group of suicide cases with bipolar affective illnesses that commit suicide during inpatient psychiatric treatment. In our own studies, we diagnosed mania in as many as 8% of all suicide cases. Risk factors for suicidal behavior in bipolar affective disorder are discussed, especially in terms of psychopathology, and the social consequences of the disease are discussed.
