N2  - The authors examined the relation of physical illness, suicidal behaviour and help-seeking patterns among suicide attempters within the framework of the WHO/EURO Multicentre Study on Parasuicide. Until now 700 monitored suicidal events have been collected; 101 structured interviews and 50 follow-up cases have been conducted in this three years period. Physical and mental problems proved to be very frequent among suicide attempters and many of them took somatic and psychiatric drugs. It was shown that patients with acute or chronic physical and mental illness more often had been in contact with GPs. Authors pointed out that in addition to mental problems the somatic diseases are significant risk factors in suicidal behaviour. In many cases these factors were not recognised and thus patients could not get help. Authors emphasised the importance of training GPs, since complex diagnostic and therapeutic approach is essential to prevent suicide.<p /> <p>Language: hu</p>
