Note:

Please note, an article which was published in this issue, entitled, "Suicide and Gender: Cultural Factors" by Dr. Dinseh Bhugra, has been taken down and is no longer available. We have found that many of the ideas featured in the article were first presented by Dr. Ian Brockington in the March 2001 issue of International Clinical Psychopharmacology, vol 16, pS7-S19. We offer a sincere apology both to our readers and to Dr. Brockington for this error.
