- The study identified four distinct patterns of suicidal behavior in first-episode schizophrenia spectrum disorders.
- Depression and clinical insight were found to play crucial roles in influencing suicidal behavior.
- Childhood trauma was associated with persistent suicidal behavior.
- Understanding these trajectories may guide targeted interventions to mitigate suicide risk in early schizophrenia.
- No statistically significant link was found between the severity of hallucinations or delusions and suicide risk, indicating other factors may have played a more substantial role.
