Is the suicide rate high when in dissociative disorders?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No clear data: Suicide rate in the general population is about 11.3 per 100, 000. Suicide attempts, non suicidal self harm, self mutilation occur frequently in this population but I am not aware of the rates of suicide.

No: I have worked with this population for over twenty years. None of them ever completed suicide. Homicide is another issue. I would view them as the quintessential survivors, but sometimes willing to kill for their own reasons or when directed to by others.
