TY - JOUR PY - 1977// TI - Drug-induced depression and attempted suicide JO - Medical journal of Australia A1 - Baker, P. M. A1 - Bartholomeusz, D. B. A1 - Siskind, M. A1 - Whitlock, F. A. SP - 322 EP - 324 VL - 2 IS - 10 N2 - Sixty-eight patients who had attempted suicide were matched with non-suicidal patients with similar diagnoses to assess the extent to which excessive drug ingestion by the suicidal group might have contributed to their behaviour. It was found that the suicidal patients were consuming more drugs, particularly those of a potentially depressing kind. The implications of this finding are discussed.
