ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Here we argue for the necessity, validity, and clinical utility of a new diagnostic entity, acute suicidal affective disturbance (ASAD).METHOD:
We expand on the conceptual, clinical, and practical rationale for ASAD, propose its defining features, describe research results to date, and suggest avenues for future research.RESULTS:
There is accruing evidence for the existence of a previously unclassified, rapid-onset mood disturbance that geometrically escalates and regularly results in life-threatening behavior.CONCLUSIONS:
ASAD research may not only improve the field's understanding of suicidal behavior but also enhance clinical effectiveness and save lives.Palabras clave
