[Suicidality in schizophrenic psychosis: a current overview].

CONCLUSION: Clinicians must have knowledge of the specific risk factors for suicide in psychotic patients, the characteristics of suicide in terms of design and temporal connection with treatment. The exploration and assessment of suicidality is often more difficult in psychotic patients than in affective or personality disorder patients, as there are often impulsive suicide attempts that can be explained by (suddenly occurring) psychotic symptoms and are therefore difficult or even impossible to foresee.
