Abstract

Aim: Lack of insight is a cardinal feature of psychosis with crucial implications for outcome. Concerns have been raised regarding a link between insight and suicidality. This study aimed to test the relationship between suicidal behaviour preceding first‐episode psychosis (FEP) and insight dimensions at treatment onset. Methods: A total of 112 FEP inpatients were recruited. Suicidal events prior to admission were recorded. Insight was assessed multidimensionally with the S chedule for the A ssessment of I nsight – E xpanded version shortly after admission. Suicidal and non‐suicidal patients were compared regarding scores on ‘total insight’ and three insight domains: ‘awareness of mental illness’, ‘relabeling of psychotic experiences as abnormal’ and ‘compliance’. This analysis was also adjusted for a set of sociodemographic, clinical, neurocognitive and psychopathological variables. Results: Bivariate analyses demonstrated a direct association between previous suicidality and all insight domains. However, these associations did not survive multivariable regression models, which demonstrated gender (female), shorter duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) and psychopathological symptoms – depression and disorganization – to mediate the influence of suicidal history on insight, and therefore to underlie the latter. Conclusions: Insight dimensions in FEP patients are influenced by having suicidal antecedents through some mediating variables such as gender, DUP and depression. Further prospective studies are needed to clarify the potential implications of these findings on the management of insight in FEP. As suicidal history is associated with greater levels of both depression and insight at first presentation, these three variables might be useful in predicting further suicidal events.

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.
