That is Very correct.......
and the percentages in suicide are so sharp...they don't change.....
except for the rank as leading caiuse of death....
it was ranked 9th and now it has moved up to the 8th ...so we r either not doing a good job at preventing it or we're just preventing other conditions better...
The lifetime risk of commiting suicide for those groups are:
schizophrenia....10%
Depression.......15%
Alcoholics.......15%
and it is a preventable condition cause
approximately 80% of patients do communicate their intent to commit suicide....somehow just beyond the scope of the exam...
ex: writing a will ( so obvious)
writing a suicidal note
etc...
etc...
Suicide Question 2 will follow......actually i doubt i'll have more than 3 and then i'll put them all up in one topic ppl cld read.....
A lot of statistics in Psychiatry.....cuz that is mostly all they got to talk about......
