Climate change, pandemics, and societal injustice are pressing questions, so much so that we feel a need to hurry in order to do something about them. A question which we tend to forget, but one that is equally pressing is mental health. The mental well-being of populations is not easy to predict, but generally speaking, the trend has been more or less negative all over the world: mental health problems are increasing, especially among the young. This is partly due to a new openness and novel ways of diagnosing and defining human problems, but what has been long known is that substance abuse, gambling, and eating disorders are entangled and make up a part of the mental health problems paradigm.

精神卫生工作不能拖延

气候变化、流行病和社会不公是紧迫的问题，以至于我们觉得有必要快点对它们做点什么。一个我们容易忘记但同样紧迫的问题是心理健康。人口的心理健康并不容易预测，但总体而言，全世界的趋势或多或少都是负面的：心理健康问题正在增加，尤其是在年轻人中。这部分是由于诊断和定义人类问题的新的开放性和新颖的方法，但众所周知的是，药物滥用、赌博和饮食失调相互纠缠并构成心理健康问题范式的一部分。
