Efforts in depression prevention
China's health authority on Friday unveiled an action plan for depression prevention and treatment
particularly among vulnerable groups

pregnant women
seniors and those with high-stress jobs.
The action plan required secondary schools and universities to launch mandatory mental health courses in a bid to spread depression prevention knowledge among young people
according to the National Health Commission.
方案提出，中学、高等院校均设置心理健康必修课程，在年轻人中普及抑郁症防治知识；
Such knowledge and screenings for mental health issues should be included in prenatal and postpartum care programs
the action plan said
asking family members to help pregnant women take care of their mental health.
It also urged mental health care facilities to provide guidance to primary-level medical centers and family doctors on depression prevention among the elderly.
The action plan set a target
whereby depression prevention knowledge will have been popularized among 80% of the general population and 85% of students by 2022.
The mission also urged measures to attain a 50% rise in the proportion of depression patients getting professional medical help by 2022.
An epidemiological survey in 2019 showed that around 16.6% of Chinese people suffered from mental health disorders of some kind.
