A Psychiatry Professor Talks about the Case of Psychotic Killer Fu Yibin (Clearwisdom.net) China's mental patients' crimes are worsening everyday
because of lack of systematic cooperation among families, hospitals and police
departments. I am a teacher at the Psychology Department at the University of Zhongshan in
Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province and I am also a doctor. After watching the TV
program on the murder case of Fu Yibin, as a doctor, I felt very sad about this
event. By looking at the pictures, I could tell that Mr. Fu showed signs of
being a psychopath. He would have shown signs of a mental disorder for quite
some time before he reached this level [of killing people]. Why did the hospital
and police department not do anything about it? Among my patients, there are a lot of people with mental illness that
approach the level of insanity and yet are freely allowed to participate in
social activities. The Chinese government still does not recognize this social
problem. China has the highest occurrence of mental illness within the international
community. Especially within the last ten years, there have been approximately
seven million people that become mental illness patients each year. China has
become the worst-case country in the international community. Although certain
actions have been taken, we are still lacking systematic cooperation among the
various institutions in society. In addition, Chinese people usually cover up
the fact that their family member has a mental illness. Presently, in virtually
every big city, everyday, we can hear of similar acts committed by mental
patients. The Chinese government should take urgent action against the wide
spread problems caused by mental patients, and prevent them from killing people
again. Posting date: 1/2/2002
