Reply to comments by Mr. Carlin and Mr. Hardisty

• Reply by the current authors to the comments made by Carlin and Hardisty on the original article. Carlin and Hardisty question whether, in our postmortem study of 14,691 suicides in Sweden during 1992-2004, the methodology was sensitive enough to allow any conclusions. In addition, they question our disclosure of funding and consultancy arrangement. There was no funding for the study. Author disclosure information was submitted with the paper. It was the Journal's decision not to publish it because it was deemed not relevant to the study or paper.
