Initial Mental Patients

to eliminate acute patients

People’s mental conditions are too complicated to understand in short time, especially to uncertain initial mental patients, who can control or hide their feelings. On the average in Taiwan, mental doctors only use less than 30 minutes to diagnosis patients by simple question and paper work. Thus, misdiagnosis and impropriate therapy cases happen all the time. To reach the standard from Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, it is necessary to start weekly mental diagnosis service, which content more conditions records, tests, and observation.

For many mental problems come from crowded and busy urban environment, compare to general mental center, which locate in countryside, I decide to demonstrate mental toys in urban. I want to change a negative impression of mental center into a positive and playful place. Everyone can enter the test center without hesitation.

Through observe transferring test bars, stair toys and play ground, doctors

China Medical University doesn’t have a complete and closed campus. For keep serving more citizens, many extensional teaching hospitals locate surround Zhongzheng Park separately. Therefore, people can meet doctors and nurses walk through the park. I think it is a good condition for mental test center, because people can meet doctor in more nature way. In the future, the park might be a medical park which provides rehabilitation facilities.
