About

Psychiatric nurses face a huge challenge in predicting and preventing suicide behaviour in their patients with bipolar disorders, but it may also be one of the most accurate measures of how well their clinical care is working. In addition to, high impulsivity scores are associated with increased overall functional impairment, a higher number of episodes with early onset, and a higher number of past suicide attempts, as well as increased substance intake. Thus, this study aimed at evaluating the efficacy acceptance and commitment therapy on impulsivity and suicidality among bipolar clients.
