Fukushima slogan

In recent years, when I went to Kansai, Japan, if my friend Fujii didn't go far away, we would all meet.

?

Fujii and I are both wandering psychiatrists. The difference is that as soon as he graduated from medical school, he plunged into the psychological rehabilitation after the Hanshin Earthquake (1995 438+0.438+07) and stuck to his post all the way up to now.

?

Last September (20 13), I learned that Fujii was about to change jobs, and 12 came to Kansai to have her period. Of course, I must see him.

?

The place my friends are going to is Fukushima, which became the global focus after the March 1 1, 20 1 earthquake and tsunami. After nearly three years of irregular support, Fujii decided to leave Kobe, his hometown, and set foot on the road of recovery in Fukushima disaster area with his own expertise.

?

It's hard to change the subject when meeting with peers. Fujii told me that nearly half of the people who put into mental health work after the disaster came from other places. "I am not a special case," said a friend who is determined to be a front-line staff supervisor lightly.

?

My friend is very calm, but I pour out: Is the environment safe? Is the local water drinkable and the food edible? Fujii patiently explained that Fukushima has a vast territory and the gap between different places is quite large; Even when the wind direction changes, the background radiation value will jump. "It's a pity that the whole place has been branded," he shook his head at Fukushima, which was deeply impressed by its past richness.

?

Yes, I thought of "no nuclear weapons; No more Fukushima "(no more Fukushima) is the most common slogan in anti-nuclear activities in recent two years. Fukushima people must have a dull pain when they look at it. "No nuclear weapons are enough," my friend implored thoughtfully.

?

Paradoxically, another test in front of a good friend is actually the stigma of his profession-psychotherapy.

?

The story has to start from the "royal turmoil" more than 100 years ago. During the Meiji period, Nakamura, an old horse in the Xiangma area, was detained by his younger brother from 65438 to 0879 because he was suspected of suffering from integration disorder (schizophrenia, renamed by the Japanese Psychiatric Association in 2002), and was later transferred to a mental hospital in Tokyo. Jin Zhi, a loyal minister of Yin Cheng, refused to accept the Qing Dynasty. In 1887, he broke into the hospital and robbed the throne. Unexpectedly, Yin Cheng died on 1892. The Xiangma family accused Brocade of poisoning every other year, and Brocade countered with false accusations. After years of trouble, because of the extensive coverage of the new media-newspapers at that time, the whole country knew about it, and it also planted the serious prejudice of local residents on mental health care. Until the Great East Japan Earthquake, there was not only no psychiatric hospital in Xiangma City, but also it was difficult for general hospitals to open psychiatric clinics, so patients had to go to other places for medical treatment.

?

"After the earthquake, the psychiatric team was careful and finally broke the local 100-year taboo and established an outpatient clinic in the name of psychological rehabilitation." The friend showed a happy expression.

?

Looking back on the192/9991earthquake, isn't it also an important milestone for mental health care/mental health work in Taiwan Province Province to enter the community? Before the earthquake, most people thought that psychiatry only looked at "neuropathy"; When mental health care and mental health workers stand up and speak, it is difficult to break preconceived ideas. Unexpectedly, an earth-shattering event became an opportunity to break the prejudice of mental illness. People in Taiwan Province know from personal experience that both irresistible natural disasters and daily accumulated stress may lead to a temporary imbalance of brain function and a state of anxiety, panic or depression. Mental disorder is not a scourge, let alone heresy.

?

3 1 1 After the earthquake, I repeatedly wrote in my email greeting Japanese friends, "When the situation is stable, I must go to Fukushima to enjoy cherry blossoms and soak in hot springs. Today, in addition to imitating friends to practice medicine locally, this is still the most powerful support I can think of.
