The results indicated that majority of cases were male and had been diagnosed of schizophrenia . They were first admitted to the hospital with positive symptoms; however, they did not either history of past attempted suicide or any suicidal idea prior to arrival. None of them had any recorded of any depressive symptoms nor received antidepressant drugs.
