Case report: foreign body in the gastrointestinal tract as a result of suicide attempt.

One of the most common cases in practice is the adoption by mentally ill and healthy people of various objects and chemicals for the purpose of suicide.These observations are interesting as a matter of fact, a sick soldier at the age of 21, with the intention of suicide, swallowed 32 pieces of metal nails, each of which was about 15 cm long. Taking into account our examinations and observations, we can conclude that for mental patients who have taken foreign bodies for the purpose of suicide, the type and shape of the objects taken do not play a special role. The intellectual level of individuals who took foreign bodies with the intention of suicide is not satisfactory. Their actions are the product of primitive thinking.
