We investigated 64 former psychiatric inpatients who had committed suicide within 1 year after their discharge and compared them with a carefully matched control group of patients who did not commit suicide. One third of the patients in both groups were no longer in treatment at the time of the suicide or, for controls, at the corresponding point in time. At that time, a significantly higher proportion of controls had been receiving psychopharmacotherapy and a significantly higher proportion of them were on lithium.
我们调查了64名曾在出院后1年内自杀的前精神病住院患者，并将他们与精心匹配的未自杀的对照组患者进行比较。两组中三分之一的患者在自杀时或对照组在相应时间点已不再接受治疗。那时，接受精神药物治疗的对照组患者比例显著更高，且服用锂盐的比例也显著更高。
