Despite progress in understanding risk factors for suicidal behavior, the pathogenesis is poorly understood, including alterations in the neural circuitry underlying affective instability (AI) associated with suicidal behavior. AI is a trait that cuts across multiple psychiatric disorders in a dimensional manner. Two core components of AI are emotional reactivity and regulation. In addit... |
