Abstract

Rates of attempted suicide for individuals with schizophrenia are approaching 30%. Attempted suicide is among the most potent predictors of subsequent suicide. Several studies suggest that suicide is more likely to occur in patients who are not being adequately treated or not being treated at all. An effort was made in the last decade to evaluate the antisuicide effects of pharmacological treatment in schizophrenia with emphasis on the role of the newer second-generation antipsychotics (SGA).
