China has been enhancing work on prevention and treatment of depression among students, with recent efforts including screening of the illness during students' heath checks, the Ministry of Education has said.
 

The ministry's statement was a response to a proposal on depression prevention and treatment among teenagers put forth by the13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, China's top political advisory body, during its fourth plenary session from March 4 to 10 this year.
 

Wang Feng, director of the Student Development Research Center of the General Education Institute of the Shanghai Academy of Educational Sciences, said all schools in Shanghai have either part-time or full-time psychological teachers to deliver mental health classes, such as how to handle foul emotions, and psychological counselling services.
 

Meanwhile, students' mental health conditions are tracked.
 

"When students are enrolled into a new school, they are usually asked to go through some small quizzes to see if they suffer from depression," he said. "If some students show signs of mental disorder, psychological teachers and other experienced teachers communicate with the students to make further assessment."
 

"For children with obvious symptoms of depression, we contact their families and recommend them to seek professional diagnosis and treatment at mental health hospitals," Wang added.
 

"We also recommend mental health hotlines, such as 962525 and 12355, for students to seek help if they have emotional problems."

教育部表示,需建立全过程青少年抑郁症防治服务、评估体系。各级医疗卫生机构要规范、持续开展抑郁症防治等相关知识培训。加大对非精神专科医院医师的培训,提高其识别抑郁症的能力。各类体检中心在体检项目中纳入情绪状态评估,供体检人员选用。各高中及高等院校均设置心理辅导(咨询)室和心理健康教育课程,配备心理健康教育教师。
