✦ Synopsis

In a larger sample of psychiatric inpatient suicides a proportion of 15% of psychogeriatric patients was identified corresponding exactly to the proportion of psychogeriatric patients in the control group. Among inpatient suicides, the patients of older age groups are not over-represented. Comparing 22 psychogeriatric inpatient suicides with 21 psychogeriatric inpatient controls a few significant differences emerged pointing to a longer, more severe and more incapacitating course of the suicides' illness. Psychogeriatric inpatient suicides were also compared with 127 younger inpatient suicides. Psychogeriatric suicides represent a cohort of patients who fall ill at a substantially later age, otherwise suffering from comparable mental illnesses of similar characteristics.
