Abstract
To a psychiatrist, it is common knowledge that elderly white male patients have increased risk for suicide. At the Cincinnati Veteran's Administration Medical Center we are treating American veterans with this in mind. The great majority of veterans are male though many women are entering the military. Aging veterans also have many medical comorbidities which further contribute to depression and increased risk of suicide. It has been established that the bio-psycho-social model can explain many risk factors which may predispose veterans to mental illness.
