Abstract

Despite advances in the assessment and management of suicidal behavior (SB), suicide remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States, and suicide rates have increased dramatically over the past 30 years. 1 There is ample evidence that suicidal thoughts and behaviors are transdiagnostic phenomena that can arise even in the absence of other diagnosable mental health disorders. 2 While attempts to elucidate a unified model of SB have identified genetic, neurobiological, and psychological factors that are associated with increased risk, these risk factors, or their combination, have only modest statistical and limited clinical utility. 3 Thus, predicting who will engage in SB remains challenging. We assert that, rather than being a unified construct, SB likely represents a final common pathway of multiple separate pathological processes. Here, we hypothesize that the pattern of suicidal thinking helps distinguish at least two of these suicidal subtypes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
