“自杀是可以预防的。”中南大学湘雅公共卫生学院院长、博导肖水源教授这样说。从1986年开始研究预防自杀以来,肖水源所接触的有自杀倾向的人数以百计,经过治疗,到目前为止只有1人真正自杀。肖水源还呼吁尽快建立专业的自杀干预机构。肖水源指出:“研究表明,80%的自杀者在自杀前都曾说过要自杀的想法。”肖水源介绍,一般来说,自杀者都会有一些前期征兆,如给自己安排后事,写遗书,买大量安眠药等。 “Suicide is preventable,” said Professor Xiao Shuiyuan, dean of Xiangya School of Public Health at Central South University. Since the beginning of the study on suicide prevention in 1986, Xiao Shuiyuan has contacted hundreds of people who have committed suicide. After treatment, only one person has committed suicide so far. Xiao Shuiyuan also called for the establishment of professional suicide intervention agencies as soon as possible. Xiao Shuiyuan pointed out: “The study shows that 80% of suicides have said before suicide the idea of ​​committing suicide.” According to Xiao Shui-yuan, in general, suicides have some early warning signs such as arranging for funerals and writing Suicide note, buy a lot of sleeping pills and so on.
