This article reviews certified suicide in Fiji during the 2‐year period from 1971–1972. The data show the much higher incidence of suicide in Fiji Indians than in other races, the incidence in Fiji Indian females being particularly high. The findings on a more detailed sample survey of 50% of the certified cases are presented. In the Fiji Indian population, a positive correlation between suicide and rural residence and a negative correlation between suicide and Moslem religion were found.These findings are discussed in relation to the cultural and social characteristics of the population of F

摘要:

Ninety‐five nulliparous women were interviewed during pregnancy and 4 months post partum. The possibility of predicting mental disturbance post partum from that during pregnancy was studied. When the woman was mentally disturbed during pregnancy, the prognosis was better in the case of a poor social situation at the time of the pregnancy than in the case of a good social situation. Negative attitude towards further pregnancies and repudiation of the own mother, however, implied unfavourable prognosis. In the case of a woman without mental symptoms during pregnancy, denial of the pregnancy and sensations connected with it suggested poor adaptation postpartu

摘要:

Throtropin‐releasing hormone (TRH) stimulation tests were performed in 19 patients with endogenous depression before treatment and when they had apparently recovered following antidepressive treatment. An increase in the maximal serum thyrotropin (TSH) response to TRH of more than 2.0 μU/ml was found in all of ten patients who did not relapse, while such an increase was found in only one of nine patients who did relapse within 6 months. I. e., a correct prognosis was posible in 94.7% (95% confidence limits 74.0 ‐ 99.9%). Though significant changes were found in serum thyroxine (T4), free T4 index, serum triiodothyronine (T3) and free T3 index, these fidings were of no prognostic v

摘要:

From a sample of 1,005 patients admitted to the State Hospital in Aarhus for the first time during the period 1950–1959 and who had been diagnosed as suffering from manic‐depressive psychosis or endogenous depression (affective psychoses), a subsample of 104 manic‐depressive patients with anancastic symptoms in the history were selected. The 104 probands were individually matched with 104 non‐anancastic probands with affective psychoses. The anancastic probands and the controls who were still living were seen personally at the follow‐up. Information concerning the psychiatric history of 945 first degree relatives of the anancastic probands and 1,000 first degree relatives of the controls were obtained.During the search for factors which could be used to distinguish affective psychoses with anancastic symptoms from affective psychoses without these traits, a positive correlation was found between the presence of anancasms and the following factors: (a) premorbid obsessive personality traits; (b) traumatic environmental factors in childhood; (c) a tendency to monopolarity; (d) a preponderance of monopolar depressions in the family; (e) the presence of secondary cases of anancastic endogenous depression. The findings are compatible with a theory which attributes a pathoplastic effect to the obsessive personality giving rise to anancastic symptomatology in the form of affective psychoses which tend to a unipol
