Monthly and seasonal variation in parasuicide. A sex difference

G Masterton
Department of Psychological Medicine, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh.

In a total of 22,169 parasuicides over 19 years, there was evidence for a seasonal cycle in parasuicide admissions among women, with an increase during the summer and a fall over the winter, including a pronounced December nadir. Further analysis of the winter trough suggests a sociological explanation, the focal point being Christmas. There was no evidence for monthly or seasonal variation among men.
