[Stress and "anniversary reactions": rising mortality on birthdays and other anniversaries].
Certain fatal casualties or psychic decompensations occur significantly more frequently on birthdays and other biographically important anniversaries. Analyses of life tables have clearly confirmed this clinical evidence. The stress model and the concept of "anniversary reactions" are the two most convincing explanations for these associations. Both concepts and meaningful opportunities for prevention of "anniversary reactions" will be presented.
