Suicide attempts by poisoning found to be less likely around major holidays
October 15, 2012 by NewsBot
A new study has found that major holidays are associated with a lower number of suicide attempts by poisoning. The study found holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving may actually be protective against attempts, possibly due to the increased family or support structures present. In contrast, New Year's Day had significantly higher numbers of suicide attempts by overdose.
