Abstract

The purpose of the study was in analysis of both causes and social conditioning leading to attempts of self-intoxications by the use of psychotropic drugs. The study included 234 patients treated in the Gdańsk Toxicological Center during years 1982-1987. In a majority, the intoxications referred to young subjects up to 30 year of age, more frequently women than men. Only 10% of subjects studied have had university education. The alcohol or drug dependence and various psychiatric disturbances has been noted in a majority of cases studied. The lack of real suicidal determination was characteristic pattern of group observed.
