Abstract

Psychological examination done in the Toxicological Department covers almost all patients treated after suicidal attempts. Elder people constitute a small percentage of this population. Our observation shows, that this percentage is growing in recent years. This analysis covers 188 patients over 60 years of age. Involvement of a psychologist was not only diagnostic but also therapeutic. Important part of the treatment included a session with patient's family and effort targeted to help patients for whom coming back to their previous environment could present life threatening danger.
