Abstract

Deliberate self- burning is very common in some Middle Eastern, Asian and African cultures. About 1.39 to 40 percent of committing suicides had been reported to be self- immolation in different parts of Iran. In a prospective descriptive study, all cases had attempted suicide by burning who referred to the burn center of Mazandaran province have been evaluated to find out psychiatric and PHYSICAL DISORDERS and medications tionsused.Three hundred and eighteen cases had been identified in three years (264 women and 54 men) and in 74.6% of females and 72.2% of males death resulted. Thirty percent of the cases had important PHYSICAL DISORDERS that the majority of them were chronic, and 39.1% of the cases were using medications that most of which were psychotropic (27%). About ninety five percent of the cases had one or more PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS, the most common of them were: ADJUSTMENT DISORDERs, nicotine dependence, major depressive disorder, dysthymic disorder and anxiety disorders. Psychoses had been noticed in only 9.6% of all. The prevalence of PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS were most common in comparison to western studies, but depression and specially psychoses and other drugs abuse and dependence were less common in both cases of suicide and parasuicide through deliberate self- burning .Regarding the high prevalence of ADJUSTMENT DISORDERs (42% of parasuicidal cases and 39.8% of suicides), it is necessary to pay special attention to environmental precipitating factors; and it is suggested that the diagnostic category of "adjustment disorder with suicidal ideas" should be pointed out again.
