        To prevent mental patient harm security, we should jump out of the trap "to strengthen management", give more social support

        Shopping plaza mugging, chain supermarket near the stabbing... Recently, from Beijing to guangxi, more insane violence incidents occur continuously, caused many innocent deaths, even just two and a half years old child. 29, a man in shenzhen news again, psychosis, sword, on the road, three killed and 5 wounded. The tragedy for the public about mental patients of endangering public safety concerns increase again.

        Unfortunately, mental patients, attract attention, often at the time of the consequences. And issues of changed, and attention is updated but failed to be solved. Mental patients, although it could be violent, but as a whole, they are weak in society. Endanger safety, to prevent mental patients should jump out of the trap "to strengthen management", from the government, communities and families, and many other aspects, give more social support.

        China centers for disease control and prevention, according to data from the patients with severe mental disorders in China more than 16 million. In contrast, is a mental illness in our country the lack of medical resources. By the end of 2010, China open psychiatric only 228000 beds. Many mental patients, even in a locked all the year round on the bed and shut in the house of the situation.

        Mental hospital is just a link of the psychiatric patients rehabilitation process, improve the community rehabilitation center is indispensible. Patients after discharge in the community rehabilitation center, will supervise and urge, regularly participate in social activities, vocational skills training, help patients recover as soon as possible and return to society. This is still at groping stage in our country, the current registration and management of mental patients in community is only more than 300, ten thousand people.

        Different from common diseases, mental illness treatment is not only to rely on medical system, also need the tolerance of the whole society. Fear of mental patients in society, ridicule and even insult is not uncommon, a city mental hospital is located, are often local residents as a dangerous road. For many families, home someone suffering from mental illness, often bears a heavy burden, and even bring the family. Earlier this month, cane county in guangxi from 42 patients with mental forced to flee, one of the patients is due to endanger the safety of others and several times after discharge were sent back to his mother in an interview said tearfully, touching. Indeed, if lost the social support, mental patients, survival is difficult, recovery more difficult.

        In medicine, mental illness is not an incurable disease, the process is complicated, long more inseparable from the community and family actively cooperate with. Mathematician John Nash was only 30 years old was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, and his wife divorced him but still continue to take care of him, Princeton university, teachers and students also accepted the "ghost" genius. Social and family help, coupled with aggressive treatment and finally makes the Nash returned to normal in 30 years, and in 1994 won the Nobel Prize in economics. Nash's biography was later made into a film "a beautiful mind", full of the temperature of the human nature.

        Of course, not every mental patients with Nash's lucky. But if, from family to community, from hospitals to the government, could give as much help and support, so, can let more psychiatric patients out of the shadows, but also to reduce public safety hidden trouble, let the whole society more harmonious and stable. , after a tough legislation process, mental health law, is initiated to increase of medical resources, psychiatric patients rights, social forces to participate in the mental health services and so on, all have detailed provisions, to relevant departments to actively implement the follow-up.

        Nash said in Nobel Prize king, only in the mysterious equations of love, to find a life of logic and reason for life. The equations of this "love", the government, legal, medical, social, family, media, personal... Are important variables. Only joint efforts in many ways, we can get more mental patients, I find myself "a beautiful mind".
