"In terms of prevention of mental illness in the community and the family, the draft should have corresponding provisions to clarify." Jin Shuo-jen said that at present, as social competition continues to intensify, various psychological stress factors have increased dramatically, and mental health problems have become increasingly prominent. Children's behavior problems, students' mental health problems, mental disorders of the elderly, abuse of alcohol, narcotic drugs and suicide have all obviously increased. At present, some middle school students, especially those who face the entrance examination and the college entrance examination, have great pressure from schools and families. Many people often misunderstand the anomalies of this group of people as misunderstandings in adolescence. In fact, many people have developed into existence. Mental disorder problem.
To guide the unit's mental health education
"Prevention of mental disorders is very important," said Li Lanning, member of the employer, schools, and prisons all require mental health counseling. This is a necessary measure to prevent mental disorders.
Li Lanning members pointed out that the unit should have a professional team for mental health education and counseling. At present, some primary and secondary schools make the counseling room like a hospital, and the tutors wear white lab coats. As a result, students are nervous when they look at such dress, and psychological problems are even greater. Therefore, in the context of extensive mental health education, a professional institution should be set up to provide business guidance to the mental health education of all units so as to avoid counterproductive.
Li Lingning suggested that in the draft, regulations should be added, and the health department should set up professional organizations to guide the psychological and health education of all units.
Students should be mental health education
The draft stipulates that schools at all levels and at all levels should educate students about mental health knowledge; set up mental health counseling rooms, and provide full-time teachers and counselors for mental health education to provide mental health education to students.

Pre-school education institutions should develop mental health education that meets their characteristics for young children. Teachers should learn and understand relevant mental health knowledge, pay attention to students' mental health, and guide and motivate students.
