"Human health can be divided into two parts: physical health and mental health, but in fact, they are inseparable, and the two complement each other and affect each other." Ma Ning, executive deputy director of the National Mental Health Project Office and director of the Public Affairs Department of the Sixth Hospital of Peking University, said that from a practical point of view, the probability of chronic diseases and mental illnesses coexisting is very high, and it needs to be paid enough attention. The theme of this year's World Mental Health Day in China is "The Mind of Youth, the Youth of Youth". The concept and skills of self-emotion management should be instilled in a timely manner to the entire population, especially young people.
The 14th Five-Year Plan and the Outline of Long-term Goals for 2035 clearly require "improving the mental health and mental health service system" in the chapter on "Comprehensively Promoting the Construction of a Healthy China".

At the same time, mental health and mental health have also received more and more attention from all walks of life, and related medical services have shifted from disease prevention and treatment to improving the health level of the whole people.
