Psychose et suicide : comment se développent-ils conjointement ? Une revue narrative
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Les personnes atteintes de psychose présentent un risque de suicide jusqu’à 20 fois plus élevé que celui de la population générale. Les mécanismes sous-jacents à l’association entre la psychose et le suicide demeurent toutefois mal compris. Cette revue narrative vise à décrire les mécanismes explorés dans la littérature pour expliquer cette association. Une revue narrative a été conduite dans Pubmed et Google Scholar en utilisant des mots-clés relatifs à la psychose et au suicide. Les références des articles pertinents ont été consultées. Quatre hypothèses ont été explorées : (1) lien de causalité allant de la psychose à la suicidalité, (2) lien de causalité allant de la suicidalité à la psychose ou lien bidirectionnel, (3) facteurs de risque communs aux deux problématiques, (4) lien indirect entre les problématiques. Globalement, les résultats soutiennent que la psychose augmente le risque suicidaire avec certains facteurs qui semblent particulièrement importants, notamment les hallucinations auditives, les capacités cognitives, les évènements traumatiques, la détresse psychologique, les symptômes dépressifs et la consommation de substances. Des évidences plus récentes semblent également suggérer une association bidirectionnelle entre la psychose et le risque suicidaire. Chaque hypothèse a été explorée et soutenue par quelques études. Les résultats suggèrent que les mécanismes expliquant l’association entre la psychose et le suicide sont potentiellement multiples et multifactoriels. La revue narrative souligne l’importance de considérer les facteurs identifiés dans l’évaluation du risque suicidaire et la prévention chez les personnes atteintes de psychose. Persons with psychosis are up to 20 times more likely to die by suicide than the general population. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying the association between psychosis and suicide remain poorly understood. This narrative review aimed to describe the mechanisms that have been explored in the literature to explain this association. A narrative review was conducted in Pubmed and Google Scholar in January 2024 using keywords related to psychosis and suicide. The keywords used for psychosis were: “psychosis”, “psychotic”, “psychotic symptoms”, “psychotic experiences”, “psychotic-like experiences”, “delusions”, “hallucinations”; and for suicide: “suicid*”. Additional keywords were used in Google Scholar to refine the search: “association” OR “mechanisms” OR “pathways” OR “risk factors”. References of selected articles were consulted. The results of the studies have been organized according to the four hypothesized mechanisms explored in the literature. The four hypotheses explored in the literature were: (1) causal link from psychosis to suicidality, (2) causal link from suicidality to psychosis or bidirectional link, (3) shared risk factors for psychosis and suicidality, (4) indirect link between psychosis and suicidality. In general, studies show that across the continuum of psychosis (from psychotic experiences to schizophrenia spectrum disorders), psychosis symptoms, especially auditory hallucinations and delusions, increase the risk of suicide thoughts and behaviors. Certain factors emerged as being particularly important in understanding the association between psychosis and suicide, whether as confounders or mediators, such as cognitive skills, traumatic events, psychological distress, depressive symptoms and substance use disorder. Recent evidence seems to support the existence of a bidirectional association between psychosis and suicide risk. Each hypothesis has been explored and supported by at least a few studies, suggesting that the mechanisms underlying the association between psychosis and suicide are potentially multiple and multifactorial. Identifying persons at risk of psychosis among those presenting suicidal thoughts and behaviors, as well as implementing early suicide prevention strategies among persons with psychosis symptoms, could respectively contribute to delaying/preventing the frank onset of a mental health disorder and reduce the risk of suicide. Further, suicide risk assessment and prevention in individuals with psychosis should take into account factors that have emerged as being important in the association between these two phenomena. In order to improve our understanding of the association between psychosis and suicide risk, several recommendations have been made for future research, such as considering the developmental stage and the stage of illness to assess potential mechanisms, and considering additional potential mediators (e.g., stigma, treatment compliance, social support, functioning and symptom severity).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
