Health newspaper: The mental patient treats and worthes expecting free
Sun RuiZhuo ( Civil servant) On October 10, it is day of mental hygiene of world, the theme is to " bear common responsibility and promote spirit to be healthy " . From next year, the mental patient of the registered permanent residence of Changsha will be expected to get the completely free treatment. (" deep and clear morning paper of Hunan " of October 9) According to the incomplete statistics, our country has 16 million mental patients at least, are still producing the new mental patient constantly every year. 80% of the families with mental patient are the difficult family, some or even specially stranding the family, they give up treating because of being unable to pay the great amount of hospitalization cost, lead to the fact the patient receiving treatment rate is low, only 15% of the patients receive treatment, there are materials that reveal only 3.67% of the patients accept standardized hospital treatment at the same time. A lot of mental patients especially those mental patients prone to violence, tramp the streets and society, nobody keep an eye on, become " the bomb when being indefinite" that fall scattered in society ,It is public and safe to threaten. As to the mental patient, social individuals and families are often unable to bear the responsibility treated and supervised. The mental patients are mostly in the state that the family supervise, but these mental patients' family can't connect the complete guarantee with one's own security, let alone supervising. In this case, treat free for the mental patient at the cost of government, this is to the mental patient's cultural and educational care, are responsible for society and the masses' security too, have reflected the responsibility of the government is taken on. On one hand, from the viewpoint of human rights, treat to make the mental patient return to the society free through the government, with normal people's the same life, lighten mental patient relatives' burden, is favorable to the guarantee of mental patient's rights and interests; On the other hand, can avoid some " military lunatics " The accidental event of tramping the streets and causing and hurting one's feeling, killing etc. happens, build a safe hedge for the public. Certainly, it the more important thing is to accelerate legislative paces to solve mental patient's problem in the long run. The legistration work, still fail to issue " law of mental hygiene " so far since 1985. The disappearance of the legal system, causing a lot of patients who should be accepted for medical treatment on one hand is unable to pay the medical fee, treat, confine for a long time family, tramp the streets, become " the bomb when being indefinite " that fall scattered in society ,It is public and safe to threaten. On the other hand, result in having no disease or person that needn't accept for medical treatment by force, the person who is have interests to conflict with it sends to the insane asylum, bear and lose the freedom of person, is forced to accept a agony that treatment that shouldn't be accepted brings. What is more, the psychosis treatment suppresses the means that the masses appeal, appeal for help as some local officers, become the tool which encroaches on citizen's right! I hope this good method in Changsha can be popularized to the whole country, hope the related departments can speed up the steps of legislating in mental hygiene at the same time, protect the mental patient's rights and interests conscientiously.
