Η ΑΥΤΟΚΤΟΝΙΑ ΣΤΗΝ ΠΕΛΟΠΟΝΝΗΣΟ: ΕΠΙΔΗΜΙΟΛΟΓΙΑ, ΨΥΧΟΠΑΘΟΛΟΓΙΑ, ΚΟΙΝΩΝΙΚΟΙ ΠΑΡΑΓΟΝΤΕΣ

THE PRESENT STUDY DEALS WITH THE PROBLEM OF SUICIDE IN A LARGE AREA OF GREECE,PELOPONNESE, AND IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS: THE FIRST PART INVESTIGATES THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF SUICIDE DURING THE YEARS 1979-1983 AND THE SECOND PART THE PSYCHOPATHOLOGY, DURING THE PERIOD 1970-1984. THE INCIDENCE OF SUICIDE IN PELOPONNESE IS AMONG THE LOWEST IN THE WORLD. SOME PROVINCES, IN PARTICULAR ARKADIA AND LAKONIA HAVE HIGHER SUICIDE RATES THAN OTHER AREAS OF PELOPONNESE. THE SUICIDE RATE IS HIGHER FOR MEN AND INCREASES PROGRESSIVELY AFTER THE AGE OF 45. SINGLE, WIDOWED AND DIVORCED PEOPLE HAVE HIGHER SUICIDE RATE THAN MARRIED ONES. FOR BOTH SEXES VIOLENT OR ACTIVE METHODS OF COMMITTING SUICIDE PREVAIL, THE MOST PREVALENT METHOD IS HANGING. THE FINDINGS OF THE SECOND PART OF THE STUDY SUGGEST THAT THE PARASUICIDES AND THE SUICIDES WITH CHRONIC PSYCHIATRIC ILLNESSCONSTITUTE A HOMOGENEOUS GROUP, COMPOSED MAINLY OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEENTREATED OFTEN IN PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALS. THE SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR OF THESE PEOPLESEEMS TO BE THE CONSEQUENCE OF CHRONIC PSYCHIATRIC DISORDER AND AS PROGRESSIVE DISORGANIZATION OF THEIR PERSONAL AND SOCIAL LIFE. PEOPLE WITH NO HISTORY OFSUICIDAL ATTEMPTS OF CHRONIC PSYCHIATRIC ILLINESS, COMMIT SUICIDE AT AN OLDERAGE THAN THE PREVIOUS GROUP. THEIR SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR SEEMS CONNECTED TO SOMEEXOGENOUS TRAUMATIC EVENT, WHICH HAS ABRUPTLY DISLOCATED THEIR LIFE.
