            Abstract:
      Annually, 30,000 people in the U.S. take their own lives. In the September 2002 issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, J. John Mann and David A. Brent of the Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic in Pittsburgh and colleagues reported that the offspring of suicide attempters have six times the risk of people whose parents never attempted suicide. Most who end their lives have a history of depression or manic-depression, but people with severe depression differ in their propensity for suicide. Scientists have begun uncovering behavioral tip-offs and are also exploring clues to anatomical and chemical differences between the brains of suicides and of those who die of other causes. Victoria Arango and Mann are leading the effort to discern the neuropathology of suicide. INSETS: PHYSICAL CLUES TO SUICIDE;THE 'MAGIC' OF LITHIUM.
