Differences Among Groups Existing data suggest important differences among demographic and other groups regarding suicidal thoughts and behaviors. For example, women are more likely than men to have thoughts about suicide and to attempt suicide, but men are more likely than women to die by suicide. Having a mental and/or substance disorder can greatly increase the risk for suicidal behaviors. Suicide rates are particularly high among individuals with mood disorders such as major depression and bipolar disorders. Moreover, bipolar disorders are estimated to be more than 25 times higher for these patients than among the general population. Suicide has also been estimated to occur in approximately 5 percent of patients with schizophrenia.
