The more children a woman has, the less likely she is to commit suicide, according to a recent study in the Archives of General Psychiatry, published by the American Medical Association. The 15-year study by Doctors Georg Hoyer and Eiliv Lund at the University of Tromso in Norway, looked at nearly one million single and married Norwegian women aged 25 or older at the study’s inception. It indicated that single, childless women are at greater risk than married women, and suicide risk decreases as the number of children increases-women with six or more children were one-fifth as likely to committ suicide as childless women.
