Abstract

Background: SUICIDE is a major health problem leading to 9% of deaths. It is also a common cause of hospital admissions. Materials and Methods: From Mehr 1379 to Khordad 1380, one hundred patients, who had attempted SUICIDE were selected by simple random sampling at Faghihi and Nemazee hospitals. Results: The patients were between 15 to 65 years of age. The majority of the cases were in the age group of 20-29 years. Fifty-four per cent were females and 57% were single. Fifty-nine per cent suffered from a previous psychiatric disorder notably depression (53%). 78% used DRUGS as the suicidal agent. The most commonly used DRUGS for SUICIDE were benzodiazepines (41%). The most important symptom of poisoning was decrease in the level of consciousness (64%). Fifty-one percent of the patients required hospital admission, 5% of them developed major complications after their suicidal attempt and 1% died. Conclusion: The high rate of SUICIDE in the young age group, warrants a more careful look at their mental health problems. Also the high percentage of SUICIDE in married females in comparison to studies from abroad shows a lower social support for this group.
