Retrospective psychiatric assessment of 200 suicides in Budapest.
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.
