Abstract

Annual suicide rates in a North German psychiatric hospital between 1975 and 1997 are reported. There is no overall increase. After a peak in the early eighties there was a moderate but steady decrease of the suicide rate whereas the average of the absolute suicide rate remained stable for almost a quarter of a century.
