A comparison of correlates of suicidal ideation prior to initial hospitalization for first‐episode psychosis with prior research on correlates of suicide attempts prior to initial treatment seeking

Abstract

Findings suggest that depression, insight, and suicidality should be carefully monitored among first-episode patients initiating treatment and during the early course of illness. As insight improves, coping strategies should be enhanced with a goal of minimizing depression and preventing suicidality.
