Boulevard of broken rhythms: A systematic review and meta-analysis on the relationship between sleep disturbances and suicidal behavior in bipolar disorder.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Among the clinical features of bipolar disorder (BD), sleep disturbances are highly prevalent and persist across all phases of the illness, from onset to acute and inter-episodic periods. Substantial evidence suggests that sleep disturbances may function as proximal triggers for suicidal behavior, independent of other underlying psychiatric conditions. Although suicide is a major clinical concern in BD, the interplay between sleep disturbances and suicidality remains incompletely understood.

Methods

We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis (SRMA) following the PRISMA guidelines. We performed a comprehensive search across PubMed, PsycINFO, and SCOPUS, including all studies reporting an association between sleep disturbances and suicidal behavior in BD. A
