Abstrakt     Slovenia has one of the highest suicide rates in Europe (overall 29 per 100000). The aim of the study was to investigate the differences in expressed suicidal behaviour regarding diagnoses and prescribed medications at arrival in Urgent Psychiatry Outpatients Department (UPOD) at University Psychiatric Hospital Ljubljana. From the case register of UPOD all admissions in year 2004 were extracted. During this time 1437 patients were examined in UPOD (840 women 594 man, mean age 43 years; SD-19 years). Suicidal behaviour (suicidal ideations, threats and attempts) was observed in 28% of the patients. The chi-square analysis demonstrated a statistically signifitant diiference in the frequency of suicidal behaviour between subgroups of patients with different diagnosis (chi=46;df=5;p<0.001). One third of the patients with mood disorders express suicidal behaviour. Significant difference in the frequency of prescribed psychotropic drugs was observed between subgroups of patients with different diagnosis (chi=36;df=5;p<0,001). Again, the highest share of patients with prescribed psychotropic medications was observed in patients with mood disorders (46%). On the contrary we have not observed differences in expressed suicidal ideations or previous suicide attempts between patients with mood disorders receiving serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI)(n=273) and those receiving other antidepressants (n=65)(p>0.05). Patients with mood disorders expressed suicidal behaviour and have prescribed psychotropic drugs more often then other patients observed in UPOD.
