Six-month trajectory of suicidal ideation in adolescents with borderline personality disorder.

Few studies have longitudinally examined suicidal ideation in those with adolescent-onset borderline personality disorder (BPD).

Results indicated that the BPD group exhibited a greater decrease in suicidal ideation in the months following hospitalization than those without a BPD diagnosis.
