Shenzhen is often described as one of the foremost examples of China's
merciless, take-no-prisoners style of capitalism.
The China Daily said that the stress of living in a highly competitive and
fast-paced society is affecting a growing number of Chinese.

One fifth of Chinese city suffering mental health problems
Sun May 6, 11:20 PM ET
BEIJING (AFP) - The stress of modern life has caused one in five adults in
south China's Shenzhen city to suffer from mental health problems, state
media reported Monday, citing a government-sponsored survey.
The survey found that 21 percent of the respondents had experienced
psychological difficulties at some stage in their lives and 17 percent
currently had mental problems, the China Daily said.
The research covered more than 7,000 permanent residents and migrants, aged
18 and above, across a broad social and economic spectrum, the report said.
"If the same ratio applies to all residents, it would mean 1.64 million of
the total 7.77 million adult population in Shenzhen have mental problems
sometimes in their lives and 1.34 million of them need counseling right
now," the report cited the survey as saying.
Shenzhen is often described as one of the foremost examples of China's

The China Daily said that the stress of living in a highly competitive and
fast-paced society is affecting a growing number of Chinese.
The Ministry of Health claims about 16 million people in China suffer mental
disorders, but experts claim up to 100 million, including at least 30
million youngsters, may suffer from mental or psychological discomfort.

Yea, it's much less stressful when the government tells
you exactly how to live, what to think, what to eat,
when to pee ...
Sorry, but freedom means choices and choices can be
stressful at times. They'll learn to cope - and then
will never accept Big Brother again (at leaast until
they're as lazy and jaded as euroamericans). |

Actually, what they'll do is what ever other culture has done
throughout history. They'll move towards a moderated capitalism
through the use of a regulated economy. |
