Comparative Study
Suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in body dysmorphic disorder.
Because suicidality in body dys-morphic disorder (BDD) has received little investigation, this study examined rates, correlates, predictors, and other aspects of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in this disorder. ⋯ Individuals with BDD have high rates of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. Lifetime impairment due to BDD and certain comorbid disorders are associated with suicidality.
