| Factors Associated with Parent-reported Suicide Threats by Children and Adolescents with Community-d |
This paper, published in the Journal of Affective Disorders in 2005, describes the relationship specific symptoms reported on the Child Bipolar Questionnaire (CBQ) and suicide threats made by children with bipolar disorder. The CBQ items most closely correlated with parent-reported suicide threat were: hallucinations, cursing/foul language, low energy/withdrawal, imagery--gore/violence, destroys property, poor self-esteem, excessive risk-taking, and excessive anxiety/worry. The significance of this finding is that aggression and impulsivity are importantly related to suicidal threats in children and adolescents with bipolar disorder. This may have implications for treatment with antidepressant medication when the diagnosis of bipolar disorder may be present. |
