Abstract
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), urine, platelet and neuroendochrine challenge tests of monoaminergic function give evidence of monoamines, especially serotonin, playing an important role in suicidal behavior. However, additional clinical, social and biochemical factors are necessary to better define suicide-prone psychiatric patients.Keywords
