Manic-depression and suicide: you cannt ignore these two important facts. 1. Nearly half of all suicides have an affective disorder of the manic-depressive type. 2. Priadel is reported to prevent relapse in 86 per cent of both recurrent depressive and manic-depressive patients. The majority of depressive and manic-depressive patients experience an increase in frequency and intensity of relapse with advancing age. After three or more episodes patients treated by conventional methods can expect to spend nearly half their lives incapacitated by their illness. The risk of suicide also increases and more than 15 percent will kill themselves. There is clear evidence that Priadel significantly controls the course of recurrent depressive and manic-depressive illness. Retrospective studies suggested that as man as 20 per cent of 100 known suicides might have been prevented by the prophylactic use of lithium.
