A family of three was "mentally ill" with suspicion, revealing the chaotic management of psychiatric hospitals and the imperfect law
preface
Recently, a news about Mo Nan, a man from Shandong, has caused heated discussions on the Internet. According to reports, Mo Nan was "coaxed" by his parents into a psychiatric hospital for various behaviors, and was later diagnosed as a seriously mentally ill patient and hospitalized for 83 days. What is unbelievable is that in order to verify her son's experience, Mo Nan's mother took the initiative to be admitted to the same psychiatric hospital, but she was diagnosed with depression and needed to be picked up by others after being discharged. What's even more unbelievable is that Mo Nan once persuaded his parents to see a psychiatrist, and then his parents were also diagnosed with mental illness, this series of unbelievable things has aroused heated discussions and questions from all walks of life.
1. A family of three is "mentally ill".
Mo Nan's experience raises questions about the management and diagnostic standards of psychiatric hospitals. It is understood that Mo Nan's family has not had serious conflicts and contradictions, and his various behaviors do not meet the diagnostic criteria for mental illness, so why was he diagnosed as a severely mentally ill patient? Moreover, Mo Nan's mother took the initiative to admit herself to the same psychiatric hospital in order to verify her son's experience, and was diagnosed with depression.
2. The management of psychiatric hospitals is chaotic
Mo Nan's experience is actually not an isolated case, in real life, there are many similar things happening. Some patients are "coaxed" into a psychiatric hospital by their families, or even diagnosed as severely mentally ill, while some patients are obviously mentally ill but cannot receive timely treatment and assistance for various reasons. On the one hand, some psychiatric hospitals may deliberately make false diagnoses and diagnose people who are not mentally ill as mentally ill in order to seek profits, and on the other hand, some psychiatric hospitals may have the problem of chaotic management, resulting in the inability of patients with real mental illness to receive timely treatment and assistance.
Third, the law is not perfect
In addition to the management of psychiatric hospitals, Mo Nan's experience also reflects the inadequacy of mental health laws in large eastern countries. In the big eastern countries, if a person is diagnosed with severe mental illness, then he will be classified as a severe mental illness for control, and in this way, it will have a great impact on his work and life. For example, he may not be able to successfully enter the civil service examination, take planes and trains smoothly, go through various procedures smoothly, etc., and once he is classified as a severe mental patient for control, he still needs to go through a lot of procedures and approvals, which is very troublesome and difficult.
Fourth, how should this problem be solved?
In view of Mo Nan's experience, how should we look at and solve this problem? We should be aware that individuals' privacy and mental health rights are very important and should be more strictly protected, and that other people's private information and mental health rights should not be abused by family members or hospitals. We should be aware that there are indeed big problems in the management of psychiatric hospitals, and we should strengthen the regulation and supervision of psychiatric hospitals to avoid patients being improperly detained and diagnosed. We should be aware that communication and understanding between family members is very important, and no matter what kind of problems arise, they should be communicated and resolved in a rational and equal way to avoid serious consequences due to misunderstandings or disputes. We should be aware that the laws and regulations of the big countries in the East do need to be further improved, and we should pay more attention to and protect the rights and interests of patients to avoid similar things from happening.
epilogue
Mo Nan's experience has sounded the alarm bell for us, making us realize that mental illness is indeed a very sensitive and complex problem, which needs the attention and resolution of all sectors of society. I also hope that the majority of netizens and readers can be inspired by this incident, enhance their awareness and care for mental illness, reduce discrimination and misunderstanding of patients, and provide them with more support and help, so that they can get out of the haze and return to the sunshine as soon as possible.
