Attempted Suicide in a Largely Rural Area During an Eight Year Period

H. I. HERSHON M.B., Ch.B.1

1 Neuropsychiatric Unit, York.

This is a survey of 762 cases of attempted suicide occurring in the largely rural areas of Shropshire and parts of Montgomeryshire, during an eight-year period. The annual incidence was shown to be increasing at a rate beyond that which could be expected. It was, however, lower than the equivalent rate found in urban communities.

The increasing use of psychotropic drugs in suicidal attempts was noted.

Submitted on February 17, 1967
