 We examined the characteristics of suicide attempt cases related to the Great East Japan Earthquake. The study population included 202 suicide attempters who presented to our psychiatric emergency services between March 11,2011, and March 8, 2012. The patients were divided into disaster-related (10) and non-disaster-related (192) suicide attempters for comparison. The disaster-related group had higher percentages of middle-aged or older men who presented to our hospital for the first time, those who lived outside the Morioka medical district and in the coastal affected area, and lower median Global Assessment Scale (GAS) score. The group also had higher percentages of patients who presented within the first 4 weeks after earthquake and severe suicide attempters classified into the AD group (Asukai Grading System, 1995). It also had higher percentages of patients who attempted suicide by gassing and those who were admitted to the emergency center on the day of the suicide attempt. The results suggest the need to perform triage for those at high suicide risk and thereby prevent severe suicide attempts immediately after earthquake. For those who have attempted suicide, a system should be established in collaboration with regional core hospitals and the emergency center to provide treatment.
