After treatment, responders and non-responders of both treatment groups were compared regarding their baseline sleep parameters. Higher baseline REM density, i.e. the amount of rapid eye movements during REM sleep, predicted better response to antidepressant pharmacotherapy. In the psychotherapy group, the effect seemed reversed but was not statistically significant. No other sleep parameter predicted treatment response. Our findings support the notion that REM-sleep dysregulation is indeed indicative of a distinct endophenotype of depression and that pharmacotherapy with SSRI/SSNRI might be superior to psychotherapy in these patients.Individuals admitted to inpatient psychiatry for suicide-related concerns are at increased risk of suicide post-discharge, necessitating an understanding of factors, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), that are associated with suicide-related hospitalizations. In this study, we examined if individuals admitted for suicide-related concerns were more likely than those admitted for other reasons to have elevated PTSD symptoms or a probable PTSD diagnosis. We also examined the moderating role of impulsivity. Participants were 188 trauma-exposed adult psychiatric inpatients (M [SD]age = 33.6 y [11.7 y], 63.3% male, 46.3% white). We used the Life Events Checklist for DSM-5, PTSD Checklist for DSM-5, Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation, and Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11 to assess trauma exposure, PTSD symptoms, suicidal ideation severity, and impulsivity, respectively. We controlled for trauma load, number of psychiatric diagnoses, and comorbid depressive and substance use disorders. Patients admitted for suicide-related concerns (55.3%; n = 104), compared with those admitted for other reasons (44.7%; n = 84), had more severe PTSD symptoms, corresponding to medium-to-large effect sizes; associations w
