abstract="OBJECTIVE: Here we argue for the necessity, validity, and clinical utility of a new diagnostic entity, acute suicidal affective disturbance (ASAD). <br><br>METHOD: We expand on the conceptual, clinical, and practical rationale for ASAD, propose its defining features, describe research results to date, and suggest avenues for future research. <br><br>RESULTS: There is accruing evidence for the existence of a previously unclassified, rapid-onset mood disturbance that geometrically escalates and regularly results in life-threatening behavior. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: ASAD research may not only improve the field's understanding of suicidal behavior but also enhance clinical effectiveness and save lives.<br><br>© 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
