Symptoms of the suicide crisis syndrome and associated risk factors in an acute psychiatric population, a cross-sectional study
The individual SCS symptoms may provide useful information in the evaluation of acute suicide risk at intake. A high level of SCS symptoms suggests more severe conditions. The lower reports among high-level than low-level SCS patients of self-reported SI last month before admission, shows the limitation of using SI as a warning sign. The association between the level of SCS symptoms and PANSS-EC total score suggests that agitation could give valuable additional information for suicide risk assessments.
