【正文】 cerning mental health in China are, nevertheless, astonishing. At the present, the number of people suffering from mental diseases in our country has amounted to 16 million, and about half of them are patients with serious symptoms. The proportion of mental illness patients had increased from % in the 50s to % in the 70s, to % in the 80s, and to as high as % in the kinds of light psychological disturbance exist among different age groups of people. They are concerned with anxiety, depression, obsessional neurosis, excessive preoccupation with real or fancied ailments, alcoholism, drug abuse, a fear of a particular thing (phobia), an irrational fear of being overweight (anorexia nervosa).The number of this type of patients is by far shocking enough. It has reached a high of 20%. Experts concerned say, mental illness in modern society has bee as mon as cold and , higher on the list of diseases are not heart blood vessel disease (cardiovascular disease), brain blood vessel disease (cerebrovascular disease), respiratory disease, malignant tumors, but mental illness. There are two causes for mental illness: endogenic and exogenic. The former is hereditary while the latter is closely connected with one’ s environment. And yet, both are concerned with tense inter personal relationships, intense petition and a faster tempo of life in general. China is not yet ready to cope with this situation. Of the 10,000 staff members for mental health care in China, only half have received a bachelor’ s degree. In the United States, however, the number stands at more than 40, hospitals in China have no psychiatric department, and as a result, mental illness is often not diagnosed correctly or promptly. Some Chinese harbor a prejudice against mental illness patients. They presume that those mental patients must have done something terribly wrong in the past, and they deserve their illness. Of course, this point of view is pletely wrong. Those patients are just mon guys who are unable to cope with pressure. To help mental illness patients relieve their symptoms, it is not only necessary to encourage the public to look at the problem in the face, seek the government’ s assistance, and what’ s more, divert people’ s attention to the problem of mental health. The most obvious advice for those mental illness patients is to keep fit. Currently, only 10 per cent of China’ s mental patients receive proper treatment, while the majority stay silent about their troubles. The best way to prevent mental problems is to adopt a sound attitude to life. One’ s outlook on life and one’ s lifestyle are both important in preventing the development of a mental problem. Among the remedies, to help fend off mental pressure is a mon action. It is as mon as eating properly and getting enough sleep. As simple as they are, most mental illness patients tend to neglect their trouble pletely. Such negligence is prehensive. Different people have different ways of dealing with life’s peaks and valleys. For these who regard life as a platform to stage a show, the top priority is not to live long but to have fun. To them, the most desirable thing is to strike a balance between living long and living well. And for some people, the surest bet in living a happy life is to get rich, which is not only glorious but also healthy. But for most people, God has never smiled at them. For them, a desirable thing is to strike a balance among what has been dreamed of, what has been possessed, and what could be enjoyed. Some people say that, we are all born crying and we will all die among crying, and the enjoyment of life lies just between the two. Living a life with the peace of mind will help people prevent from suffering various mental disturbance, will help them enjoy their life, and free them from any possible endurance of it or from being tortured by it. Mental health is an important area that people should concern themselves with in the increasingly petitive and materialized society.
