title: A study of different types of suicide notes.
abstract: A study of suicide notes in West Berlin revealed that those leaving instructions in their notes were younger, more often Catholic and having problems with work, loneliness and addiction. Those including wills and testaments were older, more likely to be female and widowed/divorced, and more likely to have recently experienced the death of a partner.
