This could mean that this period of the year exerts an adverse effect on mental health, at least on vulnerable populations. Future re…

Economic crisis-related increased suicidality in Greece and Italy
Sir, Recently a paper suggested that the economic crisis was responsible for a dramatic increase in suicidal rates in Italy1 and the same authors insist that a similar phenomenon is happening in Greece.2 The relevant data are shown in table 1.
