It took place in the USAResult of national surveyAccording to the person who reported mental disorders especially in the middle of the 1990s to the early 2000s and experienced mental disorder at a certain time of lifeIt is said that it rose to about half.

Although the above survey is a large scale targeting people with various ages, gender, social status, ethnicity, on the other hand, it should be noted that all subjects who reported mental disorders, Looking back on my life, I said that "I was a mental disorder at that time". Human memories are easy to alter and how many people accurately understand their condition, saying that they were suffering from mental disorder in the past? There is a problem. In addition, a third of people who responded to the national survey have not responded, but as a result of follow-up survey, these "unresponsive people" are mental health statusI know that it tends to be worse.

there,Study published in February 2017Conducted a survey with a different approach than "to ask the subjects the experience of past mental illness". In this survey, we tracked the generation of people living in New Zealand from birth to middle age and thoroughly investigated every few years, saying, "Whether there was evidence of a mental disorder several years after the survey "Was appreciated.

Since there was a period of several years between the survey and the survey, few people did not even suffer from a mental disorder even during the period, which can not be measured in the survey, are considered to be fewer. The same result was also seen when the same survey was conducted in another area of ​​New Zealand, Switzerland, USA.

On the other hand, when you hear that you become a mental disorder, you may have an impression that you suffer from a lifetime, but in general it is a short period of time that the symptoms of what we call "mental disorders" The same research also knows that it may be cured completely without drinking medicines. Professor Jason Siegel, a social psychologist at Claremont Graduate University, argues that people tend to be more sympathetic and become helpful when the health problems of friends and colleagues are temporary, It is thought that it is beneficial to disseminate information that "there are also many temporary mental disorders". However, even though it is "temporary", it is a fact that mental disorders have a major influence on the patient's life, and if a person falling under the symptoms of a mental disorder is supposed to have problems with considerable functions , People's help is needed.

However, the results of the study include the problem that it is received that "mental problems experienced by people in their lives are made medical concerns" for psychiatric disorders.

Non-profit organizationMental Health AmericaPaul Gionfriddo, who is representative, considers psychiatric disorder as "ordinary" and speaks, "I am not surprised at the results of this survey," while saying, "That does not always endure," he says. Three years ago Mental Health America published a tool that could check if I was a mental disorder on the web, and now 3,000 people log in to the website a day to see if I am mentally ill He said he was investigating whether treatment would benefit from it or not.

The US Preventive Medical Task Force recommends that mental disorders be regularly tested for people over the age of 11, but it is rare for those who regularly test. Mr. Gionfriddo pointed out that although people regularly examine diseases such as cancer and diabetes and try to find out early, mental disorders are not so. "Testing for mental disorders should be as general as blood pressure testing for adults."

On the other hand, it is noteworthy that "surprising people" who had never suffered a mental disorder in their lives were reported in this survey. By investigating these people more deeply, it is possible to help people with mental disorders and share insights for people to enjoy life.

At the present time, these people said that "there is no history of mental disorder in the family" and "I have few negative emotions at the time of about 5 years, I am good at self-management with my colleagues" It turned out that there was a trend. Meanwhile, it was said that there was no difference between wealth, intelligence, and physical health from other children.
