Abstract
The hypothesis that among attempted suicides, severity of intent to die is unrelated to the menstrual cycle was investigated in a sample of regularly menstruating women, using a validated intent scale. Women making their suicide attempts in the premenstrual week demonstrated a significantly higher suicidal intent but no differences in respect of other variables were observed.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
