Abstract
ABSTRACT— Based on an interview with the closest family member, using the Schedule of Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia — SADS, a retrospective psychiatric assessment and diagnostic classification was carried out on 200 completed suicides. Eighty‐one per cent of the victims had a recent psychiatric disorder, in 63% depression. The prevalence of psychiatric illnesses was similar to that of other studies from countries with lower suicide rates.Keywords
