Prior studies have shown that psychotic experiences are prospectively associated with an increased risk of suicidality. However, it is unclear whether this association is causal or arises from shared risk factors. Furthermore, little is known about the association between psychotic experiences and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). We used data from two independent samples of young adolescents, which we analyzed separately. In a population-based cohort, data on hallucinatory experiences and suicidality were collected at ages 10 and 14years (N=3435). In a cross-sectional study of a population oversampled for elevated psychopathology levels, psychotic experiences, suicidality, and NSSI were assessed at age 15years (N=910). Analyses were adjusted for sociodemographic covariates, maternal psychopathology, intelligence, childhood adversity, and mental health problems. Psychotic experiences were prospectively associated with an increased risk of suicidality, even when considering self-harm ideation at baseline. Furthermore, persistent and incident, but not remittent, patterns of psychotic experiences were related to an increased burden of suicidality. Self-harm ideation was also prospectively associated with the risk for psychotic experiences, although of smaller magnitude and only by self-report. Among at-risk adolescents, psychotic experiences were cross-sectionally associated with a greater burden of suicidality and a higher frequency of NSSI events, with more extensive tissue damage. Psychotic experiences are longitudinally associated with suicidality beyond the effects of shared risk factors. We also found modest support for reverse temporality, which warrants further investigation. Overall, our findings highlight the importance of assessing psychotic experiences as an index of risk for suicidality and NSSI.
