There was an increase in the incidence in both sexes and all ages throughout the period, but the increase was most marked in young females in 1970 and 1971. The admission rate varied from area to area, as did the drugs involved, although salicylates, barbiturates, benzodiazepines and Mandrax accounted for most poisonings. The major adverse social factors were marital disharmony, unemployment, disagreement with a close relative and chronic physical disability. Of males 41.2 per cent and of females 38.1 per cent were thought to be mentally normal. Differences between different studies are discussed and it is suggested that results obtained from one area should be applied with caution to another area.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/003693307401900105","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,10]],"date-time":"2017-01-10T12:48:58Z","timestamp":1484052538000},"page":"13-19","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Social and Environmental Aspects of Self-Poisoning"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"I.","family":"Mitchell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Western General Hospital, Edinburgh, and Milesmark Hospital, Dunfermline"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.
