Features: Due to the general lack of knowledge about mental health, people often do not realize they have a mental illness until it reaches a very serious stage before seeking medical attention. Additionally, long-standing biases against mental illness have prevented many patients from receiving timely and effective treatment. Therefore, community-based mental health institutions have a high social demand. Community health service institutions scattered throughout the city are playing an increasingly important role in public health and disease prevention. As the grassroots network of the urban prevention and health care system, ensuring the physical and mental health of community residents and playing a positive role is an undeniable responsibility. This is also the original intention behind the writing of this book.
