Recent research has found that catatonia is more common among psychiatric patients than previously thought, especially among those with autism spectrum disorders, mood disorders, and borderline personality disorder. These conditions are all associated with an increased risk of suicide. This study aimed to evaluate how the presence and prevalence of catatonic symptoms correlate with suicidal risk in individuals with major depressive disorder or borderline personality disorder. The results showed that higher catatonic traits were linked to higher suicidal tendencies, but the patterns of association differed between the two disorders.
BackgroundRecent literature has highlighted that catatonia may be more prevalent among psychiatric patients than previously thought, beginning from autism spectrum disorders (ASD), for which it has been suggested to represent a severe late consequence, but also among individuals with mood disorders and borderline personality disorder (BPD). Interestingly, one critical point shared by these conditions is the increased risk of suicidality. The aim of this study was to evaluate how the presence and the prevalence of catatonic symptoms may shape and correlate with suicidal risk in a sample of individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) or BPD. MethodsWe recruited two clinical samples of subjects (BPD and MDD) and a control group without a diagnosis according to DSM-5 (CTL). Subjects were assessed with the catatonia spectrum (CS) and the MOODS-SR for evaluating suicidality. ResultsIn the total sample, suicidality score was significantly and positively correlated with all CS domains and CS total score. Correlation and regression analyses highlighted specific patterns of association among Catatonia spectrum domains and suicidality in the MDD and BPD group and in the total sample. ConclusionIn both disorders, higher catatonic traits are linked to higher suicidal tendencies, confirming the high risk of suicide for this population. However, different patterns of association between catatonic symptoms and suicidality were highlighted in the two disorders.
