According to the statistics of the cause of death in the Ministry of Health and Welfare, there were 339 suicides in Taipei in 18, of which 2 were male suicides, and middle-aged men aged 45-64 accounted for 24.5% of the total suicides. Because this age group is the most leading and productive middle group in the enterprise and one of the important core roles in the family, suicide prevention is an urgent problem.
There are three reasons for middle-aged men to commit suicide, most of which are mental and material abuse.
According to the analysis of the causes of suicide notification of middle-aged male population aged 45-64 in Taipei Suicide Prevention Center 18, the top three causes of suicide were mental health and substance abuse (54%), emotional, family and marriage problems (32%) and workplace work and economic problems (29%), and about 50% of them combined two or more reasons.
Clinical psychologists in Huang Chunwei Liren Psychotherapy Institute said that when men are faced with major life stress events such as workplace, economic pressure or intimate family interaction conflict, it is difficult for them to express their pressure due to the influence of culture and customs. If they continue to accumulate and are not helped and solved in time, they may lead to self-harm or end their lives.
The three principles of "+1" express the emotional pressure of overcoming difficulties.
Clinical psychologists in Huang Chunwei appeal that middle-aged men and their relatives and friends can use the principle of "+1" to tide over the difficulties at this stage:
"Seek professional medical care+1": If you have negative emotions such as irritability, depression and tension due to family or work pressure, or have persistent troubles such as fatigue, overwork and insomnia, it may lead to mental health diseases or even self-harm in the long run. It is recommended to seek the assistance of psychologists or doctors and provide assessment and help through medical professionals as soon as possible.
"Let the family contribute+1": In the values of traditional society, middle-aged men usually bear the family economic pillar and great responsibility, and taking care of their elderly parents also makes him a sandwich. The management of parent-child relationship between husband and wife has also become a very important part of affecting emotions. In addition to learning to share your joys and sorrows with your family, as a family member, you should always be concerned about whether the middle-aged men at home need your strong listening and hugging.
"Find added value+1": Don't let family and work responsibilities become your whole life. Find your dreams and interests in time and explore the value of life. It is a very important topic in life to think about what can make you happy and fulfilling besides work and family.
Use the 24-hour peace of mind hotline to accompany you through the low tide and crisis.

Mind you: suicide can't solve the problem. You and I are both gatekeepers of suicide prevention and control.
