Psychiatrist's Notes

Dr. Xia is a doctor in a mental hospital and has accumulated many stories of mental patients in his work. All patients with mental disorders need to be paid attention to by the whole society and should not be discriminated against or afraid of them, because they need far more care and love than normal people. All mental health workers have been exploring the inner world of mental patients for hundreds of years, but this is far from enough! The World Health Organization defines mental health as a state of health in which each person recognizes his or her potential, is able to adapt to the normal stresses of life, function effectively, and contribute to the community in which he or she lives. Currently, mental health problems are very serious and affect people's normal lives. There are more than 450 million people with mental development disorders in the world, more than three-quarters of whom live in low-income countries. At the same time, less than 2% of health care funding is spent on mental health in most countries. Approximately one-third of schizophrenia cases, more than half of all depression cases and three-quarters of alcohol abuse cases each year prevent people with mental disorders from accessing simple, affordable treatment or care. In addition, every year around the world, one person with a mental disorder commits suicide every 40 seconds. All stories are fictitious. Readers are asked not to believe them, let alone make any assumptions.
