调查：我国抑郁症患者达3000万
30m Chinese suffering from depression

Just 10 percent of the 30 million Chinese currently suffering from depression are getting proper medical care due to a lack of psychiatrists and social prejudice against mental illness, experts have said.

At a meeting in Shanghai last week, mental health professionals said that China has just 17,000 registered psychiatrists, or one for every 76,000 people.

Most Western countries have a 10-times better ratio.

据专家介绍，由于精神治疗医师的缺乏及对于心理疾病社会偏见的存在，在我国目前3000万的抑郁症患者中，仅有10%的人正在接受正规治疗。

出席上周在上海召开的某会议的心理健康专家们说，中国目前仅有1万7千名注册心理医师，即每76000名抑郁症患者仅有1名心理医生。

这一比例在大多数西方国家要高出10倍。
