"Recent research has suggested that the association between PTSD and suicide is driven by comorbid depression (e.g., DeBeer et al., 2016), so it is notable that the studies presented here all covaried for depression diagnosis or symptom severity, suggesting that anger uniquely contributes to suicide risk in the context of PTSD (Dillon et al., 2020a; Hawkins et al. 2014; Wilks et al., 2019). Overall, there is evidence that among individuals with PTSD, comorbid dysregulated anger significantly increases risk for engaging in both interpersonal and self-directed aggression. Furthermore, increased anger appears to play a mediating role between PTSD and these negative outcomes (e.g., Bhardwaj, 2019; Dillon et al., 2020b)."
