Suicidal feelings in the last year of life in elderly people who commit suicide

M Waern et al. Lancet. .

Abstract

We examined suicidal feelings noted by doctors and by relatives of 85 elderly (> or = 65 years) people who died by suicide. When depression is suspected in an elderly patient, suicidal feelings should be assessed even during follow-up treatment.
