It is commonly thought that suicide risk in those diagnosed with Adjustment Disorders is lower than in those diagnosed with other mental disorders such as Major Depression. The risk for suicide in those with Adjustment disorders is often short-lived and therefore this risk is not looked at as a reason to bar someone from an early discharge if they have indeed been committed to a psychiatric hospital. However, since suicidality or the suicide process rapidly evolves without prior indications of any such thoughts it is essential to assess suicide risk in those with Adjustment Disorders.
