Abstract
BACKGROUND Suicidal behavior is strongly associated with major affective disorders, but there is a need to quantify and compare specific risk and protective factors in bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder (MDD). METHODS In 4307 extensively evaluated major affective-disorder participants with BD (n = 1425) or MDD (n = 2882) diagnosed by current international criteria, we compared characteristics among those with versus without suicidal acts from illness-onset through 8.24 years of follow-up. RESULTS Suicidal acts were identified in 11.4 % of participants; 25.9 % were violent and 6.92 % (0.79 % of all participants) were fatal. Associated risk factors included: diagnosis (BD > MDD), manic/psychotic features in first-episodes, family history of suicide or BD, separation/divorce, early abuse, young at illness-onset, female sex with BD, substance abuse, higher irritable, cyclothymic or dysthymic temperament ratings, greater long-term morbidity, and lower intake functional ratings. Protective factors included marriage, co-occurring anxiety disorder, higher ratings of hyperthymic temperament and depressive first episodes. Based on multivariable logistic regression, five factors remained significantly and independently associated with suicidal acts: BD diagnosis, more time depressed during prospective follow-up, younger at onset, lower functional status at intake, and women > men with BD. LIMITATIONS Reported findings may or may not apply consistently in other cultures and locations. CONCLUSIONS Suicidal acts including violent acts and suicides were more prevalent with BD than MDD. Of identified risk (n = 31) and protective factors (n = 4), several differed with diagnosis. Their clinical recognition should contribute to improved prediction and prevention of suicide in major affective disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bipolar disorder is one of the most frequent psychiatric disorders among suicidal patients. A large part of patients with bipolar disorder (30-50%) will attempt suicide. Suicidal ideation being a major risk factor of suicidal act, it is crucial to better characterize patients with suicidal bipolar depression (i.e. depression with current suicidal ideation). The aim of this study was to characterize suicidal bipolar depressed patients in comparison with non-suicidal depressed patients in terms of clinical characteristics, evolution of depression and suicidal ideation course over time, and risk of suicide attempt during follow-up. METHODS Among patients with bipolar disorder recruited from the network of FondaMental expert centres for bipolar disorder between 2009 and 2017, we selected patients with at least mild depression (Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale total score >11) and without current manic symptomatology (Young Mania Rating Scale total score <7) at baseline (N = 938). Suicidal depression was defined by a baseline score ⩾2 for item 12 of the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-Self Report (N = 271, 28.9%). Non-suicidal depression was defined by a baseline item 12 of the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-Self Report score <2 (N = 667, 71.1%). A subsample of about 300 patients (with or without suicidal ideation at baseline) was followed up for 2 years. RESULTS Baseline clinical features (e.g. depression severity, childhood trauma, global functioning) were more severe in patients with than without suicidal depression. Suicidal patients tended to remain more suicidal throughout the follow-up than patients without suicidal ideation at baseline (3.4-fold higher risk of persistent suicidal ideation at the 2-year visit despite an improvement in depressive symptomatology). CONCLUSIONS Depressed bipolar disorder patients reporting suicidal ideation had more severe clinical features at baseline and were more prone to report persistent suicidal ideation during the follow-up, independently of thymic state. Clinicians should closely monitor this subgroup of patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The pharmacotherapeutic management of depression in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) is a matter of debate that cannot be decided from the evidence available in the current literature. Therefore, its management essentially relies on the clinical experience of the prescribing clinician rather than on evidence-based approaches. AREAS COVERED This review provides a clinically oriented critical perspective on the connection between MS and major depressive disorder (MDD) or depression associated with bipolar disorder (BD), focusing on its optimal pharmacotherapy. Both clinical and pharmacological considerations are accounted in order to promote rational pharmacotherapy, both in terms of efficacy and tolerability. EXPERT OPINION Despite its clinical burden and relatively frequent occurrence, the interplay of MS and depression still requires further controlled trials to better clarify the appropriate pharmacotherapy across varying 'diseases categories' of MS itself, as well as discriminating between depressive symptoms that do not necessarily reach the threshold of either MDD or BD. Additional insight into new mood-tolerated neurological pharmacotherapy for MS is likewise warranted toward a more effective, immune- and patient-tailored pharmacotherapy, while promoting innovation in drug design, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the overall quality life of the affected individual, his/her caregivers, and to reduce the associated economic and social burden.
