TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - Suicide in the elderly JO - Medizinische Welt A1 - Wolfersdorf, M. A1 - Mauerer, C. SP - 486 EP - 490 VL - 50 IS - 11 N2 - Up to now our knowledge about suicidal behaviour in the elderly is not satisfying. The basic etiopathogenetic concepts of suicidality which have been developed for younger people - a concept of suicidal behaviour as a result of a crisis or mental illness - are also applied for elderly. The aim of suicide prevention is not an absolute ban of any suicidal thoughts or behaviour, the aim is to find a satisfying quality of life.
