TY - JOUR PY - 1992// TI - Deliberate self-poisoning presenting at Craigavon Area Hospital: 1976 and 1986 JO - Ulster medical journal, THe A1 - Kelly, Clare A1 - Galloway, R. SP - 12 EP - 18 VL - 61 IS - 1 N2 - Deliberate self-poisoning presenting at Craigavon Area Hospital was compared in the years of 1976 and 1986. A decline in the use of benzodiazepines and increase in other agents, notably paracetamol, is reported. Alcohol is frequently associated with deliberate self-poisoning, while severe mental illness is less common. Diagnostic practice may have effects on bed occupancy in this group.
