Abstract

Objective: In this study we aimed to determine whether there is role of existance of physical illness and inadequacy of psychiatric treatment in committed suicides or not.

Then the persons in that list were checked to see if they had been treated in Bakırköy Mental Hospital (n=48 The files of persons who committed suicide and who were treated there, were surveyed about physical illness and inadequacy of treatment with the aid of a semi-structured form. A matched group who didn't commit suicide but have same first axis diagnosis, same gender and age were used as a control group (n=48 Results: In the suicide group physical illness and drug treatment with inadequate doses are found to be more frequent than the control group. Conclusion: To decrease the suicide risk of patients we should treat them with drugs in adequate doses and also consider whether they have a physical illness or not .
