Dr. Cheng points out that in Taiwan 58 % of people who killed themselves visited a hospital in the three months prior to the suicide, but only 13 % sought help from psychiatric departments, a figure well below that found in other countries.
鄭泰安指出，以台灣來說，高達百分之五十八的自殺身故者，在死前三個月內曾赴醫院求診，不過其中只有百分之十三是求助於精神科，數字遠遜於其他國家。
