TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Anticipation of total solar eclipse and suicide incidence JO - Psychiatria Danubina A1 - Voracek, Martin A1 - Rancāns, Elmars A1 - Vintilă, Mona A1 - Fisher, Maryanne SP - 157 EP - 159 VL - 16 IS - 3 N2 - Around the total solar eclipse of August 11 1999, suicide incidence decreased in Timiş county, Romania, a region crossed by the path of totality and subject to eclipse-trekking, whereas no such decrease was observed in Latvia, where only a partial eclipse was observed. Collective anticipation of a positive event could have a preventive effect on suicide incidence.
