N2  - OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to determine the seasonality of serotonin functions among adolescents who attempt suicide. METHOD: Platelet [3H]imipramine binding was assessed over a period of 18 months in 98 adolescents who attempted suicide and a comparison group of 23 never-suicidal youths with conduct disorder. RESULTS: [3H]Imipramine (Bmax) was uncorrelated with age, but showed considerable seasonal variability over time in those who had attempted suicide. CONCLUSIONS: [3H]Imipramine binding density in adolescents who attempted suicide exhibited significant seasonality, reaching a nadir in late winter/early spring.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
