Recently, there is news that from August 15, 2021, Guangdong Province has included psychotherapy programs in the reimbursement of health insurance.
Does this mean that mental illness or psychological problems are becoming more common nowadays? If you are also worried about whether you will develop psychological problems, what can you do to prevent them in advance? Should you learn something about psychology yourself to avoid psychological distress?
Hi!
🍀First of all, when I saw this news, my first thought was "that's so powerful". Because I have loved ones in my family who are in psychotherapy for anxiety.
🍀It must be said that Guangdong Province is at the forefront of many policies, which reflects the strength of its economy.
My friend works in Shenzhen, and he has mentioned that there is a really big demand for psychological counseling there.
🍀 Again, when it comes to the prevalence of psychological problems, I prefer to look at it in a positive light.
It shows that mental health science is doing better and people are starting to take their mental state seriously! Compared to 20 years ago, this is really a huge improvement!
🍀 Also, I think that emotions like anxiety, fear, and depression are actually experienced by most people, and that professional intervention is only needed when they can't be resolved on their own and interfere with daily work and life.
🍀 I'd like to say: I hope that knowledge of psychology will become more popular and reach more people!
A word of advice: learning something about psychology is a great way to self-awareness and growth!
Knowing a little bit about psychology can help you understand yourself better, improve your relationships, regulate your emotions, and so much more!
To borrow a phrase, "You don't have to be a counselor, but you do have to know something about psychology."
