A role of sunshine in the triggering of suicide
Several reports indicate that suicide follows a seasonal pattern with a dominant peak during
the month of maximum daylight. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hypothesis
that sunshine exposure may trigger suicidal behavior. We found a remarkably consistent
pattern of seasonality with peak incidence around June in the northern hemisphere and
December in the southern hemisphere. Moreover, there was a positive association between
the seasonal amplitude of suicide (measured by relative risk) and total sunshine in the …
