[00:00.00]Topic 49 Is Seeking Psychiatric Help [00:06.15]a Sign of Weakness? [00:07.39]As the society develops, [00:09.63]it is becoming more and more competitive. [00:12.13]No wonder that the adults [00:13.84]and the children are under great pressure. [00:15.94]And unfortunately many people have mental problems. [00:19.42]However, few of them voluntarily seek psychiatric help, [00:23.82]for it is widely regarded as a sign of weakness. [00:26.60]As far as I am concerned, [00:28.38]people should develop the new idea [00:30.66]that seeking psychiatric help [00:33.50]is a normal need [00:34.68]and that a person should seek help from a doctor [00:37.24]if he is ill, whether mentally or physically. [00:40.72]To start with, [00:42.01]the mental problem is common [00:44.00]among people in the modern society. [00:46.42]With the increasingly faster pace of life, [00:49.56]competition in the society becomes fierce, [00:52.20]and relationships between people are intensified. [00:55.09]The science and technology is developing, [00:58.62]which means we should keep learning [01:01.78]and keep up with the progress of knowledge. [01:04.07]Most adults are suffering from the employment pressure. [01:07.99]And students commonly feel depressed [01:10.28]and worried about their academic study [01:12.37]and the relationship with their friends. [01:14.35]So it is clear [01:16.28]that psychological or emotional problems [01:18.72]are common in our life. [01:19.79]It’s just like we feel uncomfortable [01:22.52]when we get a cold or a cough. [01:24.45]So seeking psychiatric help is nothing special. [01:28.04]It will help people to be healthy. [01:30.39]What’s more, [01:32.04]seeking psychiatric help is not a sign of weakness. [01:35.74]On the contrary, [01:37.01]it shows you are brave enough [01:39.15]to face the problem and solve it. [01:40.92]Some people think that [01:42.46]only insane patients go to see the psychiatrist. [01:45.24]They are afraid of being seen as abnormal. [01:48.24]And they don’t understand [01:49.97]how the psychiatrists can help, [01:51.84]what will happen during the therapy and so on. [01:54.25]So they prefer to keep it as a secret [01:56.65]when they have psychologic problems, [01:58.78]which will make things worse. [02:00.66]We should not hide our sickness [02:02.96]for fear of treatment. [02:04.15]We should abandon the prejudice against mental problems. [02:07.51]In fact, seeking psychiatric help [02:11.03]means a person have the courage [02:13.07]to face the problem. [02:14.19]It is never a sign of weakness. [02:16.22]It is a way for us to strive to gain health. [02:19.27]To sum up, [02:21.14]seeking psychiatric help [02:23.53]is not a sign of weakness or insanity. [02:25.40]It is important for people [02:27.28]to accept the new idea [02:28.50]that it is a normal need, [02:30.17]and that everyone who faces himself bravely [02:32.41]should be respected.
