Behind the "genius son", the problem of mental illness needs more attention

Half Moon Talk Commentator Du Xiaojin

Recently, the article "Our Genius Son" swept the screen of the Internet, and countless people were touched by the deep and great fatherly love of Jin Xiaoyu and the firmness of Jin Xiaoyu to use translation to fight against the suffering life, and "admiration" and "tears" have become a clear footnote to this Hangzhou version of "Beautiful Mind". However, behind the touching, the professional diagnosis and treatment of mental illness and the reintegration of patients' social life need our attention.

Over the years, mental illnesses represented by depression have become prominent problems that plague contemporary people, and they have shown a trend of development at a young age, in the "how can good people be depressed?" In the face of social doubts, people are paying more and more attention to preventive counseling and professional diagnosis of mental and psychological problems. If it is said that the reason for the long-term procrastination of mental problems before is mostly due to the general mentality of avoiding medical treatment, then now it is mostly due to the shortage of professional diagnosis and treatment and the lack of care for social reintegration, making some people who are eager for treatment or can be treated have no way to find a way, and "heart disease" is difficult to treat.

In the face of this urgent demand, the development of professional medical construction for mental illness must be improved: not only in large cities, but also in small towns; not only to pay attention to serious mental disorders, but also to pay attention to mild common symptoms; not only to care about depression, but also to improve the diagnosis and treatment of other rare types of diseases, such as bipolar disorder that is difficult to suppress mania and depression, Diogenes' syndrome with extreme hoarding and common in the elderly.

Comprehensive diagnosis and treatment is the seed of treatment for mental illness, and warm social acceptance is sunshine, water and air. As Father Jin said to reporters, "There are many children like my son, and they need to be recognized and encouraged by society." "For people who are still struggling with depression and anxiety, and for people who have overcome depression and anxiety after struggling hard, we should have more sincere encouragement and less groundless questioning and denial." I believe that through the touching and strength brought to us by the father and son of the Jin family, more people can weave a net with kindness and tolerance, and salvage more "Jin Xiaoyu" who have been neglected.
