Research Article: Levels of IL- are Associated with Lifetime Attempted Suicide in Alcohol Use Disorder Patients
Abstract:
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a leading risk factor for suicide,, only surpassed by schizophrenia and major depression (MD)., As many as –% of people with AUD report at least one lifetime suicide attempt (SA),, which is among the strongest predictors of death by suicide. Moreover, people who re-attempt suicide are more likely to have AUD, and the increased risk of suicide after an SA may last for more than two decades. The causes of SA is complex and not fully understood, but neuroimmunological factors have been suggested to play a role in SA. Establishing biomarkers for SA in people with AUD could be of clinical relevance both for suicide prevention and for understanding the underlying pathophysiology.
