abstract="We examined prospectively whether mania and hypomania are associated with an elevated risk for suicidality in a community sample of adolescents and young adults. Baseline and four-year -follow-up data were used from the Early-Developmental-Stages-of-Psychopathology (EDSP)-Study, a prospective longitudinal study of adolescents and young adults in Munich. Suicidal tendencies (ideation/attempts), mania and hypomania were assessed using the standardized Munich-Composite-International-Diagnostic-Interview. At baseline, mania/ hypomania was associated to a different degree with suicidality (Odds ratios [OR] range from 1.9 to13.7). In the prospective analyses the risk for subsequent incident suicidal ideation was increased in the presence of prior mania (38.0% vs.14.1%; OR = 4.4; 95% CI = 1.4-13.5). No associations could be found between prior mania/hypo-mania and incident suicide attempts. The prospective analyses revealed a remarkable relationship between pre-existing mania and increased risk for subsequent suicidal ideation.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
