abstract="The present study analyzed a large sample of 133,421 suicides in Hungary (for the period 1970'2002) for the birthday blues phenomenon. The number of suicides taking place on the individuals' birthdays was compared with the number expected using chi-square tests. More suicides occurred on birthdays for men of all ages and for women over the age of 60. The birthday blues phenomenon was found for urban and rural suicides, for all marital statuses and for both violent and nonviolent methods for suicide. Possible explanations for these results were discussed. © The Author(s) 2015.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
