Abstract

In almost all countries where reliable statistics researches are conducted, the rate of suicide among elderly people rises in people over 65 years old, reaching its highest point at 85 years old. Nevertheless, it seems that this phenomena is tended to be ignored. Although the evidence given by the epidemiology, many physicians and even of psychiatrits claim that the suicide among elderly is rare.
