The study included a cross-sectional cohort of patients diagnosed with BAD who were treated at Sveti Ivan Psychiatric Hospital in Zagreb. The studied group was composed of female patients in the remission phase of BAD, aged 18 to 65 years. Through evaluation of the Body Mass Index (BMI), patients were divided into two groups: the study group (BMI>30), and a control group (BMI ranging from 18 to 25). Following this segmentation, the patients filled out two questionnaires: a schematic perception test (Figure Rating Scale) to determine body dissatisfaction, and a modified Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation to determine suicidal intensity. The study established a difference in body dissatisfaction between obese patients and patients with average body weight suffering from BAD. Higher BMI corresponded with higher dissatisfaction with body appearance. In addition, the study determined a statistically significant difference in suicidal intensity according to the Beck scale with regard to the level of satisfaction with body appearance. A significant correlation between dissatisfaction with body appearance and suicidal intensity according to the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation indicates that evaluation of dissatisfaction with body appearance could be used in daily clinical work as an indicator for suicidality in patients suffering from BAD. Statistically significant body dissatisfaction and a generally higher level of dissatisfaction, which have been confirmed as predictors of suicidality, were found in obese patients.
