Individuals with bipolar spectrum disorders experience higher morbidity and mortality rates relative to the general population because of increased commission of dangerous behaviors. Despite this impact, little is known about the overall rates of risk-taking behaviors in patients currently being treated for such illness. This study examined the frequency of a variety of risk-taking behaviors in 100 adults with bipolar spectrum disorders in an active outpatient psychiatric treatment. It was found that 70% of individuals assessed reported at least one risk-taking behavior over the preceding 7 days. Implications for assessment and intervention are discussed.
与普通人群相比，双相谱系障碍患者由于危险行为发生率增加，其发病率和死亡率更高。尽管有这种影响，但对于目前正在接受此类疾病治疗的患者中冒险行为的总体发生率知之甚少。本研究调查了100名正在接受门诊积极精神治疗的双相谱系障碍成年患者中各种冒险行为的发生频率。结果发现，70%接受评估的个体报告在过去7天内至少有过一次冒险行为。文中讨论了评估和干预的意义。
