With various pressures in society increasing day by day, many people are suffering from mental problems. However, few of them voluntarily seek psychiatric help, for it is widely regarded as a sign of weakness. How far do you agree with this view? Write an essay of about 400 words on the following topic:
Is Seeking Psychiatric Help a Sign of Weakness?

答案
Is Seeking Psychiatric Help a Sign of Weakness? As the social atmosphere becomes more and more competitive and tense, both adults and children are under great pressure or invisible stress; some even suffer from depression. However, few of them go to the psychologist, as it is widely held that it’s a sign of weakness to seek psychiatric help. Letting the conventional idea cloud our judgment is ignoring the simple truth that to regain health, patients should see the doctor, whether they are physically or mentally ill. Scientific studies show that most people have mild or serious psychological problems. According to a research conducted last year in America, 7% to 12% of men and 20% to 25% of women experience evident depression during their lifetime. Women are almost two times more likely than men to become depressed and are especially susceptible during and after pregnancy. Moreover, students commonly have low self-esteem and feel depressed. Overpowering pressure of study and love affairs between adolescents often bring about bad psychological effects. These effects sometimes turn inward and result in individual’s self-destructive, even suicidal behavior. Judging from the above analysis, rejecting psychiatric help is more like a sign of weakness than seeking it, as the former indicates fear to face the reality and the latter shows courage to fight against the mental illness, and it is even a sign of silliness, since the victims risk their lives in doing so. On the other hand, it is understandable that people hesitate about coming to a mental health center. For one thing, they feel uncertain about what may happen there; for another, they are worried that colleagues or classmates may discriminate against them, as the narrow-minded still tend to label those in need of psychiatric treatment as the insane. However, we should not allow such an unfair stigmatization to prevent our search for help. After all, what is the purpose of a health center? Surely there is only one answer; to provide help for those who need it. Like victims of any disease, we are entitled to receive professional treatment and should struggle to gain back our mental health. In conclusion, seeking psychological help is neither a sign of weakness nor a sign of madness. It is certainly necessary for the government and media to educate the public to set up a correct perception of both psychological problems and those suffering them. As for the victim, there is nothing to be ashamed of except that one dare not to face oneself bravely.
