This research aimed to estimate the long-term risk of suicide in psychiatric patients using a sample of 7921 individuals identified from the Salford Psychiatric Case Register. The suicide risks estimated in this study are generally higher than those previously reported, notably in schizophrenia and personality disorder and in previous in-patients. Risk was also high in males with substance dependency.
