Other Problems I Found from the Book

Except the communication problem in A&E department, there are some other problems exist.

1. 1/4 suiciders have been in touch with mental health services in the year prior to death.

2. 16 per cent of suicides in England and Wales wer psychiatric in-patients at the time of their death and 23 per cent died within three months of discharge from in-patient care (Dpartment of Health 2001).

3. Patient suicide has a profound effect on staff as individuals and the team as a whole. Most of time suicide is so difficult for staff to bear because of several reasons on staff: feeling of failure, fear of blame as well as feelings of guilt and shame.

4. Problems happened in BME (Black and Minority Ethic) Groups
The impact of culture difference is possibly not considered when clinician is helping a suical BME, and may be this will influence the intervention. So by its nature much of 'culture' is unspoken. It is important for practitioners to explore with service users and their families the meaning of their actions. This is particularly important an no single practitioner will know about every culture they are likely to come acrooss in their work.

5. Problems of young people: relationships, school problems and peer relationships, family problems, anger management, depression and self-harm and the future.

Some of the problems has been figured out by the government and correspondingly the government has set some solutions to solve the problems, but still there some problems exist in the current solutions, so it is valuable to explore.
