N2  - Beginning from the hypothetical premise of a rise in the number of suicides - as reported by a number of sources - resulting from the legislation that modified psychiatric care (law 180/1978), the Authors have examined the data for suicides committed in the City of Rome during the years before the legislation went into effect, as well as the figures for suicides in the years that followed. The findings show a constant increase in the number of suicides beginning in 1978, with a startling escalation in the phenomenon from 1980 on, all of which leads to reflections on the destabilizing effect of the legislative reform on the psychiatric population. The Authors further observe that, from the time 'law 180' went into effect, the age groups responsible for the increase in the number of suicides are the young and medium ones, meaning those groups in which certain psycho-pathological symptoms are likely to assume their most complete clinical form.<p /> <p>Language: it</p>
