Suicide Following Stroke in the United States Veterans Health Administration Population
In the United States (US), suicide is a leading cause of death, and most of these suicides involve firearms, highlighting the importance of lethal means safety in suicide prevention.(1, 2) US Veterans experience a suicide rate 1.5 times higher than US civilian adults and are more likely to use firearms as the means of suicide.(3) Risk factors for suicide within this population include demographic factors such as sex, age, race, and level of education, as well as health factors such as smoking status, psychiatric conditions (e.g., posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD], depression, bipolar and anxiety disorders, schizophrenia...

Insomnia as an additional clinical correlate of suicidal ideation after stroke
Suicide-related behaviors are frequent among stroke survivors [1]. In a recent systematic review and meta-analysis [2], it has been shown that about one out of eight subjects suffering from stroke may have suicidal ideation afterward (i.e., thinking about, considering or planning suicide). Findings, based on 15 studies including 13 independent samples and 10,400 unique subjects, showed a pooled proportion of suicidal ideation of 11.8% (7.4% to 16.2%). Suicidal ideation was less likely in stroke survivors who were married, employed and had higher education levels.

Wishing to die or self-harm after stroke: A planned secondary analysis of the AFFINITY Randomised Controlled Trial
Stroke is associated with adverse health outcomes, including self-harm [1]. Strokes double the risk of suicide attempts and increase the risk of death by suicide, although the quality of available evidence is low [2]. Suicide acts are commonly preceded by suicidal thoughts, although available studies have often relied on the use of administrative data, chart reviews, or one-off assessments of suicide ideation [2]. There is also uncertainty about whether the use of antidepressants after a stroke reduces the prevalence of post-stroke suicidal thoughts.
