We read with interest the Article by Julia Steinberg and colleagues in The Lancet Psychiatry, in which the authors examined the risk of first suicide attempt before and after abortion, adjusting for age, calendar year, socioeconomic status, history of childbirth, mental health, parental mental health, and physical health. The authors concluded that women who had abortions had a higher risk of non-fatal suicide attempts compared with women who did not have an abortion. Furthermore, they also concluded that heightened suicide attempts are not caused by abortion, but by differences in other risk factors related to suicide attempts. As a suggestion, we think that the authors should pay more attention to bipolar disorder.

流产和自杀企图。

我们感兴趣地阅读了《柳叶刀》精神病学杂志中茱莉亚·斯坦伯格（Julia Steinberg）及其同事的文章，其中作者检查了流产前后首次自杀企图的风险，并针对年龄，日历年，社会经济状况，分娩史，精神健康，父母亲进行了调整。精神健康和身体健康。作者得出的结论是，与没有堕胎的妇女相比，堕胎的妇女非致命自杀的风险更高。此外，他们还得出结论，自杀未遂的增加不是由堕胎引起的，而是与自杀未遂相关的其他危险因素的差异造成的。作为建议，我们认为作者应更加关注躁郁症。
