Abstract
Characteristics of Suicidal Attempts in Major Depression Versus Adjustment Reactions
Polyakova I~~Knobler H Y~~et al
69 patients with major depression & 86 with adjustment reactions admitted to the Moscow Institute of Emergency Help after a first suicide attempt were studied. Adjustment reaction patients were less educated, had lower social status, & were more often unmarried compared to major depression patients. No differences were found between the 2 groups in the methods used. The time between the beginning of the disorder & the suicide attempt was significantly shorter among adjustment reaction patients.
