title: [More complications after a fall from height in patients with a mental disorder].
abstract: In this issue of the Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde researchers from the Amsterdam Medical Centre describe the coincidence of psychiatric comorbidities and complications in patients suffering from a fall from height. Apart from typical somatic issues related to these diseases, such as substance abuse and specific medication, the attitude of healthcare workers toward this category of patients is discussed and critically appraised.
