title: [In-patient suicide -- a comparison of psychiatric in-patient suicides versus a control group of inpatients from the same treatment era without suicide].
abstract: In our study we compare n = 64 in-patient suicides with a group of non-suicide in-patients which received psychiatric treatment during the same period. The matched patient was the next admitted patient. We found a significantly higher portion of schizophrenic and depressed patients in the suicide group, whereas suicides showed more depressive symptoms, more suicidal ideations before the suicide and more subjective suffering. Suicides received more psychopharmaca.
