TL;DR: Whether risk of suicide attempts (SAs) differs between patients with bipolar disorder (BD) and patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) is unclear and cumulative risk differences are due to dissimilarities in time spent in high‐ risk states, incidence per unit time in high-risk states, or both is investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether risk of suicide attempts differs between patients with bipolar disorder (BD) and patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and found that patients with BD spent 4.6% of the time in mixed episodes, and more time in major depressive episodes (MDEs) and in subthreshold depression (39% versus 31%, respectively) than those with MDD.

TL;DR: Mental disorders, particularly substance use disorders, psychotic disorders, and personality disorders are common among acute burn patients before injury, and these disorders may predispose to burns.

TL;DR: Although the clinical characteristics of patients attempting suicide are a major determinant of whether they are subsequently referred to psychiatric hospitals, the treatment practices of emergency room hospitals also influence treatment decisions.

TL;DR: Mantere et al. as discussed by the authors conducted a prospective latent analysis study of psychiatric comorbidity of DSM-IV bipolar I and II disorders and found that depression and anxiety covary strongly cross-sectionally and longitudinally in BD.
