In the past, “taking care of one person, impoverishing a family and dragging down a group of people” was a true depiction of thousands of families with mental patients. Nowadays, whether to stay at home or in the hospital has become a problem for many mental patients and their families. October 10 is the 23rd World Mental Health Day, this year’s “World Mental Health Day” activity theme is “mental health, social harmony”, aims to call on the whole society to actively participate in mental health work, and jointly undertake the prevention and treatment of responsibility and obligation, to promote the formation of Patient: little hope of being discharged from the hospital Looking forward to the company of family members CNN Health Channel met schizophrenia patient Li Hui (a pseudonym) during his visit to Beijing Anding Hospital, where he has been hospitalized for more than 10 years, with little hope of being discharged due to his repeated illnesses. When his condition was stable, he was no different from ordinary people, talking about his family and friends when the doctor checked in, loving to communicate with others and looking forward to the company of his family. But his family only comes to the hospital for a token visit two to three times a year. Jia f Xiao, chief psychiatrist at Beijing Anding Hospital, a hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University, told CNN Health, “Li Hui’s condition recurred after he was discharged from the hospital, and as he was on publicly-funded medical treatment, his family was less willing to let him out, a situation that is more common in hospitals. Some patients’ families hope to reduce the hassle by placing the patient in the hospital. Some patients have been hospitalized for as long as 40 to 50 years, basically after being admitted to the hospital until they die.” Many people in society are prejudiced against psychiatric patients, “Psychiatric patients are not as dangerous as imagined, like schizophrenic patients, after their condition is fully controlled, they are exactly the same as normal people. Even when their conditions are not under control, they are mostly confused in their thinking, emotions and behavior, and the percentage of injuries is far less than what people think. Due to the vicious incidents are easy to be reported, one-sided aggravate people’s understanding of the danger of schizophrenia,” Jia f Xiao introduction, “in fact, mental patients are also a need for care and attention to the vulnerable social groups, they are eager to get the community’s care and comfort, looking forward to the company of family members, return to a normal life as soon as possible. ” Experts: should explore the government, community, family joint prevention and rehabilitation system At present, according to the latest data from the Ministry of Health report shows that: the prevalence of heavy mental disorders in our country is 1.04%, the prevalence of other mental illnesses, such as depression, anxiety disorders, etc. is 14.16%. And worldwide, one person dies by suicide every 40 seconds due to psychosomatic disorders. According to the World Health Organization, one-third of people with schizophrenia, more than half of people with depression and three-quarters of people with mental disorders caused by alcohol abuse do not have access to effective treatment and care every year due to a severe lack of resources. Jia f Xiao mentioned that in foreign countries, rehabilitation in the community and at home is more favored for people with mental illness. The situation in China is that the community rehabilitation system needs to be further improved, while some families are more willing to put patients with recurrent episodes in hospitals under the policy of publicly-funded medical care. Jia f Xiao suggested that in order to provide a better rehabilitation environment for patients and solve the situation of strained medical resources, a model of government, community and family joint prevention and treatment should be established. According to reports, China’s continuous development of mental health in the past few years, the shortage of hospital beds has been gradually resolved over the past few years, but for individual three hospitals, the shortage of beds is still a serious problem. Patients from all over the country want to go to the central city of the tertiary hospitals to receive treatment. In particular, after the State implemented public medical coverage for mental illnesses, some families sent patients who should or should not have been hospitalized to hospitals in order to reduce their burden, making medical resources even more strained.
