Results: Lifetime suicide attempts in BD were predicted by a longer duration of untreated illness (DUI) ( p = 0.005), absence of lifetime psychotic symptoms ( p = 0.025), presence of poly-substance use disorders ( p = 0.033), comorbidity with obesity ( p = 0.022), a last mood episode of manic polarity ( p = 0.044), and lower bilirubin serum levels ( p = 0.002); higher total cholesterol serum levels showed a trend toward statistical significance ( p = 0.058).
