Spring is the season of high incidence of mental illness.

There is a folk saying that "rape blossoms and mental illness comes". Spring is the season of high incidence of mental illness, and its incidence accounts for about 70% of the whole year.

Zhang Gong, vice president and deputy chief physician of Jinhua Second Hospital, said that it was only a few days since the spring, but the number of mental patients sent to Jinhua Second Hospital for treatment increased significantly. According to statistics, there were more than 800 mental patients/kloc-0 in Jinhua Second Hospital last year, of which 2/3 were new cases. At present, the prevalence of mental illness is about 6‰.
