Both the underlying mental illness and treatments, especially antipsychotics, contribute to this increased cardiometabolic risk, creating a dilemma between efficacy and desired safety. As a point in fact, clozapine is a second-generation antipsychotic with proven antipsychotic efficacy in otherwise treatment-resistant patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. However, clozapine is also linked to a substantial increase in body weight and carries a high risk for metabolic disturbances,&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; making clinicians, patients, and caretakers reluctant against its use. Additionally, sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy food intake have become a public health issue for populations in the Western world in general. However, they are an even bigger problem among people with severe mental disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Also, the use of antipsychotics has expanded beyond schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, being used frequently on-label for unipolar depression, but also off-label for impulsive behaviors, insomnia, and anxiety among other conditions.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Over the last decade, more focus has been paid to monitoring body weight and uncovering potential dysmetabolism by blood sample analysis in people treated with antipsychotics, which are important steps in the right direction.

Lithium was associated with a decreased risk of non-psychiatric hospitalization in low (aHR 0.88, 95% CI 0.84–0.93) and standard doses (aHR 0.81, 95% CI 0.74–0.88).</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Standard doses of lithium and aripiprazole were associated with the lowest risk of relapse, and standard dose of lithium with the lowest risk of non-psychiatric hospitalization.

However, variations in suicide methods between people with different SMIs have not been examined. The aim of this pre-registered (PROSPERO CRD42022351748) systematic review was to pool the odds of people with SMI who die by suicide versus those with no SMI, stratified by suicide method.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Searches were conducted on December 11, 2023 across PubMed, PsycInfo, CINAHL, and Embase. Eligible studies were those that reported suicide deaths stratified by SMI and suicide methods. Studies were pooled in a random-effects meta-analysis, and risk of bias was measured by the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>After screening, 12 studies were eligible (<i>n</i> = 380,523). Compared with those with no SMI, people with schizophrenia had 3.38× higher odds of jumping from heights (95% CI: 2.08–5.50), 1.93× higher odds of drowning (95% CI: 1.50–2.48). People with bipolar disorder also had 3.2× higher odds of jumping from heights (95% CI: 2.70–3.78). Finally, people with major depression had 3.11× higher odds of drug overdose (95% CI: 1.53–6.31), 2.11× higher odds of jumping from heights (95% CI: 1.93–2.31), and 2.33× lower odds of dying by firearms (OR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.33–0.56).
