abstract="This is a preliminary retrospective investigation of non-fatal deliberate self-harm in 32 non-Saudi migrants who were admitted over 7 years [1982-1988] to a University Hospital in eastern Saudi Arabia. The female to male ratio was 1.9:1. The group comprised 1 5 Arabs [47%], and 1 7 non- Arabs including 16 Asians [50%] and one European [3%]. The majority were below the age of 25 years. The predominant precipitants of the episodes were interpersonal conflicts [56%] which were noted significantly in females, and psychiatric disorders [34%] noted significantly in males. Drug overdose was involved in 50% of cases. About one-third of the group [34%] and especially males significantly resorted to dangerous self-injuring. The commonest psychiatric diagnosis in the series was depression [72%]. Two non-Arab males committed suicide in the hospital<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
