Abstract

A survey of non-hospitalised schizophrenics was conducted to test the hypothesis that schizophrenics who had attempted suicide are phenomenologically and demographically different from the ones that do not. On comparison, it emerged that the former had significantly higher incidence of psychiatric morbidity in the family, were on the whole younger and had a much larger number of Present State Examination (PSE) depressive symptoms.
