Mental health in China

Mental health in China is a growing issue. Experts have estimated that about 130 million adults living in China are suffering from a mental disorder.[1][2] The desire to seek treatment is largely hindered by China's strict social norms (and subsequent stigmas), as well as religious and cultural beliefs regarding personal reputation and social harmony.[3]
