Sažetak
Bipolar disorder is associated with the highest risk of completed suicide of all mental disorders. The suicide mortality of people
with bipolar disorder is approximately 25 times higher than the general population. No approved pharmacological strategies for
suicidality in bipolar disorder have been introduced so far. There is evidence for anti-suicidal effect of clozapine in schizophrenia.
Clozapine with its unique pharmacology, anti-aggressive and anti-impulsive properties is potentially an effective strategy for
suicidality in bipolar disorder.
