Suicidal behavior in acute and transient psychotic disorders

Three year stability of Five-Factor Model personality traits in relation to changes in symptom levels in patients with schizophrenia or related disorders

“…For instance, FFM personality traits have been found to be related to substance abuse (Reno, 2004), medication non-adherence (Lecomte et al, 2008), suicidal behavior (Pillmann et al, 2003), social functioning (Lysaker and Davis, 2004), subjective quality of life (Couture et al, 2007;Boyette et al, 2014), psychotic symptom exacerbation (Lysaker and Taylor, 2007) and psychotic relapse (Jonsson and Nyman, 1991;Gleeson et al, 2005). An underlying assumption of these studies is that FFM personality traits represent stable, independent constructs, unaffected by manifestation of illness.…”

Acute and Transient Psychosis: An Overview

“…Contradictory evidence was found in a study by Pillmann et al in 2003. No suicide was reported in a series of patients with ATPD 5 years after the index episode, as opposed 2 cases with schizophrenia and 3 with bipolar schizoaffective disorder had died of suicide.…”

“…Similarly, Tasman et al reported that ATPD was seen more commonly in personality disorders such as histrionic, paranoid, schizotypal, narcissistic and borderline. Pillmann et al (2003) carried out a comparison between ATPD patients and control groups with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder and healthy subjects using the 5-NEO Factor Inventory (neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness). They reported no relevant difference between ATPD and healthy controls; however, it was found that patients with schizoaffective disorder and particularly those with schizophrenia showed markedly higher neuroticism, and lower extroversion and conscientiousness.…”

Akute vorübergehende psychotische Störungen (ICD-10: F23)

“…Die Häufigkeit von Suiziden und Suizidversuchen während des gesamten Krankheitsverlaufs wurde im Rahmen der "Halle-Studie" untersucht [23]. Hinsichtlich der Anzahl von Suizidversuchen und vollendeten Suiziden zeigten sich keine Unterschiede zwischen AVPS, Schizophrenie und schizoaffektiven Störungen.…”

“…Hinsichtlich der Anzahl von Suizidversuchen und vollendeten Suiziden zeigten sich keine Unterschiede zwischen AVPS, Schizophrenie und schizoaffektiven Störungen. Im Gegensatz zur den beiden anderen Diagnosegruppen war die Suizidalität bei Patienten mit AVPS jedoch im Wesentlichen auf die Akutphase der Erkrankung beschränkt [23].…”
