Influence of experience and nationality on assessment and outcome of parasuicide.

In Sheffield 544 consecutive cases of attempted suicide (parasuicide) were seen at 2 large hospitals over a 12-month period, and allocated in sequence to the junior and senior psychiatric staff, of British and foreign origin. During the follow-up period of 12 months, 31 patients had a further episode of parasuicide and 5 patients committed suicide. The outcome (as measured by repeat parasuicide or suicide) was not significantly affected by the country of origin of the psychiatrist, nor his length of training in psychiatry.

Incidence of depressive symptoms in users of the oral contraceptive.

Evidence is presented that the incidence of depression among users of oral contraceptives is no higher than that among matched controls not taking such medication. There is an association between high depression scores and high neuroticism scores, more marked in controls than takers. Intensity of depression is related more to age, personality and occupation than to the use of oral contraceptives. A higher proportion of users than of controls experience sexual satisfaction. Past takers include a large number of individuals with a high neuroticism score. The incidence of depression symptoms in women increases with age. A higher proportion of housewives than of women going out to full-time work show depressive symptoms.

Requests for termination of pregnancy in the East Midland area--Sheffield region.

A study was carried out of patients seeking termination of pregnancy through their general practitioners. Three quarters of these patients were recommended for termination. Of these 80 per cent did, ultimately, have the pregnancy aborted. A number of patients showed guilt feelings but anything approaching mental illness occurred in only two patients.
