Martin Voracek, in an Editorial linked to a research paper, explores the issues of suicidal risk after spousal suicide or psychiatric admission. The conclusion seems to be that husbands and wives whose marital partner has been admitted with a psychiatric disorder are themselves at increased risk of suicide, and it may be that assortative mating on heritable traits such as personality variants, psychiatric disorders, and suicidality contribute to the observed increased suicide risk after spousal suicide or psychiatric admission.
