In their article “Poststroke suicide attempts and completed suicides: A socioeconomic and nationwide perspective,”1 Dr. Eriksson and colleagues focused on suicide after a serious brain injury (stroke). The authors work at Umea University in Sweden and the study was supported by the Swedish Council for Health and the Swedish Research Council. The study followed more than 220,000 people for 12 years after their stroke. Within this group, the authors counted the number of people who were admitted to a hospital for a suicide attempt and the number of people who died due to suicide. They found that younger less-educated men who had a more severe stroke had the highest risk of suicide following stroke. This is an important finding because by identifying groups at risk, steps can be taken to prevent this serious stroke-related problem.
