“…3,4 The progression of BD is frequently associated with an increased number of episodes, [5][6][7][8] subclinical symptoms in the interepisodic period, 9,10 higher rates of comorbidities, 11 increased risk of suicide, 12 a higher number of hospital admissions, 13 and poorer response to treatment. 6 Furthermore, several studies have shown a strong association between number of mood episodes and unfavorable clinical outcomes, especially cognitive and functional impairment.…”

Objective: To review the available data on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of subjects with bipolar disorder (BD), with a particular focus on fractional anisotropy (FA) in white matter (WM) tracts. Methods: The PubMed/MEDLINE database was searched for relevant articles, which were included in a systematic review of the literature. FA reductions and WM abnormalities were divided anatomically into three groups: commissural tracts, association tracts, and projection tracts. Results: Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria. The corpus callosum was the main impaired commissural tract as demonstrated by FA reductions. Five studies reported FA reductions in the cingulum. Two studies reported decreased FA in the anterior thalamic radiation, and one in the corticospinal tract. Conversely, three studies found increased FA values in WM tracts involved in BD pathophysiology. Conclusion: Despite considerable heterogeneity, these results indicate a direct link between executive cognitive functioning and abnormal WM microstructural integrity of fronto-limbic tracts in patients with remitted BD, providing further evidence of the neuronal disruption that underlies BD symptomatology.

“…The cited results are consistent with the literature, i.e., it was also found that there is a significant difference in dissatisfaction or satisfaction with appearance between the obese and those of average body mass. Being obese is stigmatized in Western culture [20,[25][26][27]. The importance of being accepted by others and preoccupation with body appearance are particularly significant among women, and women in our milieu, similar to those from the Western cultural sphere, are fascinated by the ideal figure of a woman that constitutes the contemporary ideal of beauty and that comprises the attributes of attractiveness, health, sex appeal and societal success.…”

“…Obese persons therefore, often experience discrimination and are stigmatized in their professional and private lives. Taking into consideration these negative attributions, it is logical that obese persons face an increased risk of developing various disorders, including severe, mental disorders and suicidal behaviors [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

-The aim of study is to evaluate the impact of body dissatisfaction and obesity on suicide attempts in patients suffering from Bipolar Affective Disorder (BAD). The study included a cross-sectional cohort of patients diagnosed with BAD who were treated at Sveti Ivan Psychiatric Hospital in Zagreb. The studied group was composed of female patients in the remission phase of BAD, aged 18 to 65 years. Through evaluation of the Body Mass Index (BMI), patients were divided into two groups: the study group (BMI>30), and a control group (BMI ranging from 18 to 25). Following this segmentation, the patients filled out two questionnaires: a schematic perception test (Figure Rating Scale) to determine body dissatisfaction, and a modified Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation to determine suicidal intensity. The study established a difference in body dissatisfaction between obese patients and patients with average body weight suffering from BAD. Higher BMI corresponded with higher dissatisfaction with body appearance. In addition, the study determined a statistically significant difference in suicidal intensity according to the Beck scale with regard to the level of satisfaction with body appearance. A significant correlation between dissatisfaction with body appearance and suicidal intensity according to the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation indicates that evaluation of dissatisfaction with body appearance could be used in daily clinical work as an indicator for suicidality in patients suffering from BAD. Statistically significant body dissatisfaction and a generally higher level of dissatisfaction, which have been confirmed as predictors of suicidality, were found in obese patients.

“…Mood disorders are found in 80-85% (39)(40)(41) and schizophrenia in 9-13% of patients dying each year due to suicide (42). Other risk factors in the field of psychiatry also exist, including personality disorders and substance and alcohol dependence (43,44) and family history of suicide (43,45,46). Race and ethnic group (47), problematic coping skills (48), and environmental variables like recent psychosocial stress (49,50) and occupational problems or interpersonal problems with spouse or romantic partner (51) also constitute risk factors.…”
