Objective: The author hypothesized, based on research until 1991, that a five‐fold increase in the use of antidepressants might reduce Swedish suicide rates by 25%. A subsequent 3.5‐fold provided ‘natural experimental situation’ forprospectively testing this hypothesis. Method: statistics suicide, antidepressants,unemployment and alcohol consumption were obtained for1978–96. Time‐series latter variables compared with rates. Demographic subgroups regarding age, gender county analysed. Suicide...
Background It is unclear whether there a direct link between economic crises and changes in suicide rates. Aims The Lopez-Ibor Foundation launched an initiative to study the possible impact of crisis on European Method Data was gathered analysed from 29 countries included number deaths by men women, unemployment rate, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, annual growth rate inflation. Results There strong correlation rates all indices except GPD capita but only with women. However,...
Objective: To test the hypothesis that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants may have a suicide emergent effect, particularly in children and adolescents. Method: Detections of different forensic toxicological screening 14 857 suicides were compared with those 26 422 cases deaths by accident or natural causes Sweden 1992–2000. Results: There 3411 detections 1538 controls. SSRIs had lower odds ratios than other antidepressants. In 52 under 15 years, no detected....
It is well known that suicidal rates vary considerably among European countries and the reasons for this are unknown, although several theories have been proposed. The effect of economic variables has extensively studied but not climate. Data from 29 covering years 2000–2012 concerning male female standardized (according to WHO), World Bank) climate were gathered. statistical analysis included cluster principal component categorical regression. derived models explained 62.4 % variability...
Antidepressants detected by the National Department of Forensic Chemistry in 5281 suicides Sweden during period 1992‐1994 were related to data on usage expressed person‐years exposure. 874 subjects (16.5%). In relation their use, fluvoxamine, citalopram, moclobemide, mianserin and trimipramine found more often than reference drug, amitriptyline (i.e. over‐risks). Toxic concentrations antidepressants 232 (4.4%). Most people committing suicide not taking immediately before death, even though...
Abstract The use of antidepressants has been low in Jämtland County for many years, while the suicide rate among highest Sweden. A continuous outpatient prescription recording system operation since 1970. Through this we traced pattern 80 individuals who committed from 1970 to 1984. Suicide patients obtained 1.5 times more drugs than matched controls, mainly psychotropics and vitamins. During 3 months prior suicide, half had received medical attention 73% women 40% men drugs, one‐third...
Ecological studies have demonstrated a substantial decrease in suicide parallel with an increase the use of antidepressants. Causality cannot, however, be inferred from such studies. The aim this study was to test on individual level hypothesis that treatment antidepressant medication has been substantially contributing cause suicide.Time trends detection antidepressants and five 'control medications' forensic toxicological screening 16 937 suicides 33 426 controls Sweden 1995-2005.The...
Summary Numerous ecological studies have shown an inverse association between antidepressant use and suicide rates a smaller number of individual-based current reduced risk. Such evidence is often cited in support the notion that antidepressants prevent suicide. However, more recently, premises underlying this proposition, namely caused by depression relieve depression, been challenged potential harm has highlighted. In article, Goran Isacsson Charles Rich debate with Jon Jureidini Melissa...
Objective: To consider and evaluate a continuing medical education programme for general practitioners (GPs) on depression in Jämtland county, Sweden, inspired by the Gotland study. Method: Interactive seminars were conducted between 1995 2002 county. For evaluation, suicide rates annual sales statistics of antidepressants compared with national averages. Questionnaires used information about attitudes prescribing habits. Results: The rate decreased to same level as average. use increased...
To assess the possible relationship between major depression (MD) and nocturia.An unselected group of adult men women, living in city Ostersund, Sweden, were sent a postal questionnaire containing questions on somatic mental health, sleep, sleepiness nocturia. For diagnostics Major Depression Inventory (MDI) was used.The mean (sd) ages women 48.0 (18.2) 50.1 (19.1) years, respectively. Two or more nocturnal micturition episodes occurred 15.6% 16.5% women. In multiple logistic regression...
Ten temporomandibular joint specimens, five with clinical signs of arthropathology and without, were examined by means tomography, double-contrast serial cryosectioning combined histologic staining sections for tissue identification. Of the joints four demonstrated disc displacement. The fifth showed a post-traumatic condition. Four hyperplastic connective retaining contrast medium in posterior part fossa. This contained extravasated blood enlarged cavernous structures lacking endothelial...
Background The increasing incidence of mental health problems among young people is a major concern in many Western countries. causal mechanisms underlying these trends are not well established, but factors influenced by current societal changes ought to be implicated. Such include immigration and social adversity as the timing taking on adult roles (e.g. gainful employment, parenthood own housing tenure). We therefore examined relationships between risks psychological distress suicide...
