TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Are lipids possible markers of suicide behaviors? JO - Journal of clinical medicine A1 - Kułak-Bejda, Agnieszka A1 - Bejda, Grzegorz A1 - Lech, Magdalena A1 - Waszkiewicz, Napoleon SP - e333 EP - e333 VL - 10 IS - 2 N2 - Suicides and suicidal behaviors are very important causes of mortality and morbidity and have become a serious global problem. More than 800,000 people die from suicide every year. Previous researches have established that lipids play an important role in the pathogenesis of suicide. Moreover, lipid levels might be a biological marker of suicide. A lot of researchers have tried to identify biological markers that might be related to depressive disorder, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia and suicidal behavior. It was also important to consider the usefulness of an additional tool for prevention actions. Metabolic deregulation, particularly low total cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins-cholesterol levels may cause higher suicide risk in patients with these psychiatric disorders.
