Predicting suicidal behaviour after first episode of non-affective psychosis: The role of neurocognitive functioning.

Hence, poorer cognitive performance in FEP appears to emerge as a risk factor for suicidal behaviour from early stages of the illness and a comprehensive neurocognitive assessment may contribute to risk assessment.
