Prevalence of suicide attempts in bipolar disorder: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.

CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis confirmed that SA is common in BD and identified a number of factors related to SA. Further efforts are necessary to facilitate the identification and prevention of SA in BD. Long-term use of mood stabilisers coupled with psycho-social interventions should be available to BD patients to reduce the risk of suicidal behaviour.
