Extract

Depression is a serious illness in Western Europe and the United States of America. It is estimated that in 1957 the combined total of suicides in the United States, Britain, France and Western Germany was approximately 30, 000 (1). The attempted suicide rate is considered to be six or seven times as great, which could give a grand total of 200, 000 suicide attempts in that year in these countries. Many of these patients are depressives, as stated in a recent British Medical Journal leading article (2).
