Treatment of Mental Illness Prior to Suicide: A National Investigation of 12,909 patients, 2001-2016.

CONCLUSIONS: One-quarter of patients with mental health conditions who die by suicide may not be receiving relevant interventions at the time of death. Levels of and reasons for nontreatment vary by diagnosis, but measures to address comorbid diagnoses and implement interventions to improve adherence in specific groups could have an impact.
