today is the twenty-second World Mental Health Day, this year's theme: mental health social harmony. Reporters learned yesterday that mental illness is at the top of the total burden of disease in China. Nearly 20 of the 100 adults in our province suffer from mental illness. Reporter Yang Fang
with the rapid development of the social economy and the increase of all kinds of pressure, the prevalence of mental and psychological diseases has risen year by year. Mental health has become a major public health problem, and mental illness has been in our country. The first of the total burden of disease. Wang Ruzhan, President of Shandong mental health center, said that health is not only a disease free, but a good state of physical, psychological and social adjustment. With the development of economy and society, the average life span of human beings has been increasing, but mental health problems are increasing.
according to the epidemiological survey in our province, the prevalence rate of mental illness in our province is 19.48% (over 18 years of age). Among them, the most common type of mental disorder is mental disorder, which accounts for about 5.93% of mental disorders, 5.62% of the use of substances (such as alcohol), 5.5% of anxiety disorder, and 1.28% of psychosis disorder. "Mental illness is a common disease, but due to the lack of self-awareness in some patients, they can not seek medical advice actively, their family often has a sense of shame, often avoid medical treatment, but also suffer certain social discrimination. As a result, the rate of consultation and treatment is generally low, which is a prominent phenomenon both at home and abroad. Wang Ruzhan said.
according to the introduction, most of the above mental disorder patients need psychological intervention or systematic treatment, but the public has a general bias on mental illness. It is not correct to treat the existing psychological problems and emotional contradictions. Many patients have not been hospitalized and treated in time, resulting in the delay of the illness, even suicide, accident and injury. Serious consequences.
at present, the management of patients with severe mental illness has been incorporated into basic public health service projects in China. Currently, about 300000 patients with severe mental illness registered in our province, of whom about 200000 are in the tube.
but Wang Yanhu, an expert at the provincial mental health center, said that because of the lack of professional third party rehabilitation institutions, the patients were discharged from the hospital, and the patients were unable to get the professional help from the rehabilitation institutions outside the hospital. After returning home, they had a quick recurrence and could only return to the hospital. This is known as the "revolving door" phenomenon in the treatment of mental patients.
today, the Shandong provincial mental health center will hold a large free clinic. Patients will be free of registration fees and medical fees.
