A recent report from the University of Milan highlights the connection between mood disorders, suicide, and adherence to psychiatric therapy. The study focused on individuals who died by suicide and were known to be taking psychiatric medication at the time of their death. The researchers conducted toxicological analysis on blood and urine samples taken during autopsies and compared the results with the prescribed therapy. The findings revealed that over 70% of the individuals did not fully adhere to their medication, and even when medication was present, it often fell below the therapeutic range. The study emphasizes the importance of treatment adherence in reducing the risk of suicide and suggests the need for collaboration between clinicians and forensic pathologists to evaluate the effectiveness of medical interventions and develop new approaches to suicide prevention.
