Abstract EN
The following study was performed on 146 married couples who were admitted to University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, due to parasuicide.
Patients were mainly young females who were experiencing short term difficulties with either their marriages or extended families.
Indians appear to be over represented, comprising of about 46.6% with Malays appearing to be slightly protected against parasuicide.
Approximately 51% of the subjects chose overdosage of prescribed drugs while only 17.1% used physical harm.
About 60% had been married for a duration exceeding ten years before they presented with attempted suicide and 60% had two or less children.
Marriages were mainly based on love not arrangement.
