Abstract

The risk of suicide is high amongst individuals with bipolar affective disorder and mixed affective state. Research has shown that the suicide risk increases during both rapid-cycling and mixed affective states in bipolar. This article reviews the recent research of patients with bipolar and mixed affective state and suicide risk and highlights the reasons and potential benefits of factoring the potential risks into the assessment for suicide risk.
