Psychiatric News (4/11) reports, “The anniversary of a parent’s death appears to be associated with an increased risk of suicide among women,” investigators concluded in a “case-crossover study” that relied on “linked data from 1990 to 2016 from multiple Swedish registers.” The study team “focused their analysis on” 7,694 “adults aged 18 to 65 who had experienced the death of a parent and later died of suicide.” The findings were published online April 11 in JAMA Network Open.
