A group of 46 persons who had attempted suicide by jumping was compared on clinical and social-demographic parameters with another group of 214 persons who had attempted suicide by drug overdose. The differential characteristics of persons attempting suicide by jumping are the following: more often men, of a more advanced age, married or widowed, more often suffering from major psychopathology (that is affective psychosis-depressive type or schizophrenia), and quite frequently having a serious somatic illness.
