Psychiatric News (8/15) reports, “Experiencing substance-induced psychosis may raise the risk of suicide attempt,” investigators concluded in a study that “analyzed data from 5,806,700 people aged 13 years or older who lived in Denmark from January 1, 1995, to August 10, 2017.” The study team “followed the individuals until the individuals had a suicide attempt, had a first psychotic disorder (except for first substance-induced psychosis), died, or emigrated, whichever came first.” The findings were published online Aug. 13 in the journal Addiction.
