Dear Colleagues,
Suicide is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 30,000 deaths in the US each year and almost 1 million deaths annually world-wide. In the US suicide is the third leading cause of death for young people 14-24 years of age. The highest suicide rates of any age group occur among persons aged 65 and older.
Suicide rates are particularly high among persons with bipolar disorder, particularly at the time of the switch from depression to mania or vice versa, schizophrenia, antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, major depression, and substance-induced depression.
Today's newsletter provides information about this serious public health problem.
Please feel free to forward this information to professional colleagues, who can sign-up for a free subscription to Friday's Progress Notes at http://www.athealth.com/Practitioner/Newsletter/fpn_subscribe.html
