In a study describing suicide attempters' approach to the health and social welfare authorities prior to a suicide attempt, it was found that one-fourth of the patients seeking help requested therapeutic consultations and only a few asked for medicinal treatment. Forty-four percent had taken newly prescribed medicine for the parasuicide. It is concluded that the availability of psychological support and a more restrictive prescription of medicine could have a preventive effect on parasuicidal behaviour. Patients suffering from depression and pain have more often than other patients been in contact with their general practitioner prior to the suicide attempt. Postgraduate courses for practitioners on depression diagnostics and suicidal behaviour are proposed as a measure in suicide prevention.
在一项关于自杀未遂者在自杀未遂前与卫生和社会福利当局接触方式的研究中发现，寻求帮助的患者中有四分之一请求进行治疗咨询，只有少数人要求药物治疗。44%的人因准自杀行为服用了新开的药物。得出的结论是，提供心理支持和更严格的药物处方可能对准自杀行为有预防作用。与其他患者相比，患有抑郁症和疼痛的患者在自杀未遂前更常与他们的全科医生接触。建议为从业者开设关于抑郁症诊断和自杀行为的研究生课程，作为预防自杀的一项措施。
