TL;DR: The immediate postdischarge period is a time of marked risk, but rates of suicide remain high for many years after discharge, and patients admitted because of suicidal ideas or behaviors and those in the first months after discharge should be a particular focus of concern.

TL;DR: A review of both the academic literature contained within relevant databases alongside manual searches of policy literature and guidance from the key stakeholders was undertaken in this paper, where the authors argue for the need for greater research into current practice to inform the setting of minimum standards for the treatment of personality disorder.
