[Motives and circumstances of repeated suicidal attempts by taking drugs].
It has been found out that 45% of the Toxicology Clinic patients hospitalized by their suicide attempt had previous suicide attempts. Calculations have shown that there were 76 previous suicide attempts in all and that 48 (63%) among these were not followed by any psychological and/or psychiatric help. The most frequent reason of this was keeping the attempt secret from further environment. Among the persons repeating suicide attempts affective illnesses, brain damage and personality disturbances were more often diagnosed; mental disturbances of their parents and/or disruption of their families in their childhood in the cases of these patients were also more frequent. Collapse or loss of significant interpersonal relations was a more frequent motive for trying to take one's life with persons repeating suicide attempts.
