abstract="Data of the Baden-Württemberg and Bavarian inpatient suicide study (1970-1984) and (1985-1989) and (1990-1992) are presented comparing these different observation periods. The total group comprises 59% men and 41% women of 585 suicides, 51% younger than 50 year (main group 21-30 years: 26%). An increase of suicides in the seventies and a plateau in the eighties is observed. 53% of the total group are schizophrenic and 26% depressive inpatients. There is a impressive shortening of the time period from index admission to suicide over the years: (1970-1984) 56% (1985-1989) 85% and (1990-1992) again 83% of the total group committed suicide during the first six month of inpatient treatment. Suicides of psychiatric inpatients seem to be a problem of acute psychiatry.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
