Abstract

To prevent suicide, predictability scales are not sufficiently feasible. There are too many factors and too many variations on the subject. Two surveys are presented, one on depression, the other on the attitude of psychiatrists in the evaluation of suicide risk. Perplexity emerges from those surveys, so much so, that perhaps a new definition of suicide needs to be found.
