Suicidality and PTSD: an overview of the previous cognition about the role of comorbid mental disorder

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to give a comprehensive overview of the role of comorbidity in suicide risk among people with PTSD. Based on recent studies, there is strong evidence about the cohesion between suicidality and PTSD, especially when there is comorbidity with another psychological disease inherent. Comorbidity with Disruptive Mood Dysregulation is found to be the most signifcant predictor of suicidality among people with PTSD. The risk of suicidality is also increased with comorbidity with Substance Related and Addictive disorders. Also, it is found that comorbidity with Addictive and Psychotic disorders, mostly disorders from the schizophrenia spectrum, significantly increase suicide risk among people with PTSD. Further, it is found that comorbidity with Borderline Personality Disorder is strongest among comorbidity with Personality disorders in predicting suicide risk among people with PTSD. The clinical implications of this article are relevant to the possibility of practical use of scientifically based research results, and their use in clinical practice with the goal of improving the psychological evaluation of suicidality.
