Abstract

Associated stressful life events both within and outside the hospital environment may contribute to the high-risk environment. The cohort studied here was hospitalized for a significant psychiatric problem, a factor which puts them in the high-risk category. When the severe psychiatric diagnosis is combined with a significant stressful life event, the risk of suicide is increased significantly.
