Factors Associated with High-frequency Users of Psychiatric Service in a Public Psychiatric Hospital in Taiwan

In the recent decades, deinstitutionalization for psychotic patients has been a zeitgeist of the world. It has led to a dramatic reduction of inpatient beds and subsequent increase in pressure on available beds. In Taiwan, there are still increasing available psychiatric beds until 2011.
