| Former hostages on verge of suicide 09/10/2004 11:15 Ten former hostages from Beslan arrived in Moscow on Thursday on board a plane of the Russian defense ministry and were hospitalized to Serbsky's State Scientific Center in Moscow (the central psychiatric hospital in Russia). Doctors say that each of those people, who experienced the nightmare of the hostage crisis in Beslan, were on the verge of suicide. One of the former hostages committed suicide, when she came back home from the stormed school. Psychiatrists say 132 other victims of the horrific terrorist attack need to be hospitalized urgently, the Kommersant wrote. Ten leading specialists of the Serbsky's Institute left for North Ossetia soon after the end of the hostage crisis. The doctors rendered first psychological aid to those, who survived the storm of the Beslan school. "Our specialists work at hospitals and at funeral ceremonies," the institute's director Tatiana Dmitrieva said. "Unfortunately, we have lost one woman. She committed suicide when she identified her dead child," Dmitrieva said. Psychiatrists are deeply concerned about a possible series of possible suicides to occur. "It is not time for mass suicides, - senior psychiatrist of the Russian Healthcare Ministry Boris Kazakovtsev said. - An outburst of suicides usually starts a month or two after an emergency situation ends." |
