Sixty-nine (15.9%) out of 435 suicides were due to drowning, 51 (73.9%) males and 18 (26.1%) females. Drowning was the third most common suicide method with most in the sea (92.8%), fewer in wells (7.2%). Median age: males 52.2 years (standard deviation (SD): 20.3, range: 27\u201389) and females 58.8 years (SD: 15.2, range: 32\u201384). Psychiatric medications: antidepressants (6 cases, 8.9%), benzodiazepines (6 cases, 8.9%) and antipsychotics (1 case, 1.5%). Other substances: alcohol (14 cases, 20.9%), cocaine (1 case, 1.5%) and opioids (1 case, 1.5%). No seasonal effect was observed for suicides by drowning. Greece, being a country with an embracing coastline, could provide a field of study for suicide by drowning.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0025817217727648","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,23]],"date-time":"2017-08-23T11:33:41Z","timestamp":1503488021000},"page":"45-48","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Suicides by drowning in Greece: Findings from a 10-year sample (2006\u20132015)"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"86","author":[{"given":"Antonios","family":"Paraschakis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Psychiatric Hospital of Attica \u201cDafni,\u201d Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ioannis","family":"Michopoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2nd Department of Psychiatry, Athens University Medical School, \u201cAttikon\u201d General Hospital, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vasiliki","family":"Efstathiou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2nd Department of Psychiatry, Athens University Medical School, \u201cAttikon\u201d General Hospital, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christos","family":"Christodoulou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2nd Department of Psychiatry, Athens University Medical School, \u201cAttikon\u201d General Hospital, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ilias","family":"Boyokas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Piraeus Department of Forensic Medicine, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Athanassios","family":"Douzenis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2nd Department of Psychiatry, Athens University Medical School, \u201cAttikon\u201d General Hospital, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0025817217727648","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0447.1998.tb10069.x"},{"key":"bibr2-0025817217727648","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1520\/JFS12013J"},{"key":"bibr3-0025817217727648","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/gps.1211"},{"key":"bibr4-0025817217727648","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000433-200106000-00005"},{"key":"bibr5-0025817217727648","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PAF.0b013e3181c215c8"},{"key":"bibr6-0025817217727648","unstructured":"Geography of Greece.
