Summary by author Emma

In recent years, more and more cases of depression have appeared, but it has always been a topic that is easily ignored and not understood. And in the traditional sense, the United States pays more attention to and treats psychological problems than China. Their treatment methods are also more advanced. This podcast discusses the general attitude towards depression in China and the west and the influence of cultural differences on people's attitudes. At the same time, depression is discussed from the perspective of depression patients, professionals, and the general public.
