Abstract

Objectives: In an attempt to reduce the phenotypical heterogeneity in an ongoing genetic study of suicidal behavior, we investigated the impact of comorbid anxiety disorders on suicidal behavior in bipolar disorder (BD) patients. Methods: Anxiety disorders were compared in 406 BD I and BD II patients with or without lifetime history of suicide attempt. Results: Among anxiety disorders, only social phobia (SP) was significantly associated with history of suicide attempt in BD [p < 0.001, odds ratio 4.26 (2.284–7.946)]. Moreover, onset of SP was found to precede onset of BD. Conclusions: This result suggests that SP is an important risk factor for suicidal behavior in BD. Further studies are required to determine whether comorbid SP may help to identify a more homogeneous BD sub‐group, especially when studies of suicidal behavior are conducted. A second question is whether SP identifies a sub‐group of subjects with BD who have a more severe illness course and whether treatment of SP with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants is associated with improvement or worsening of the course of BD.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Social anxiety disorder is associated with increased rates of suicidal ideation and behaviour in people with bipolar disorder.

    “Several investigations have linked social anxiety disorder with increased rates of suicidal ideation and behaviour (Perroud et al. 2007; Kocabas et al. 2019; Amuk and Patel 2020; Masi et al. 2021), as well as with substance use problems (Yapici Eser et al. 2018) in people with bipolar disorder.”
  • These associations are stronger for social anxiety disorder than for any other anxiety disorder in people with bipolar disorder.

    “These associations were stronger for social anxiety disorder than for any other anxiety disorder (Perroud et al. 2007; Yapici Eser et al. 2018; Kocabas et al. 2019).”

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.
