Suicidal plans following spinal cord injury: a six month study
Y Kishi and RG Robinson
Department of Psychiatry, University of Iowa College of Medicine, Iowa City, USA.
Suicidal plans were examined among patients with spinal cord injury.
Suicidal plans during the acute period may be related to inadequacy of
support. Suicidal plans during the chronic period may be related to a
depressive disorder provoked by prolonged severe impairment.
