抑郁癥篩查納入學生健康體檢

China will include screening for depression in student health checks amid efforts to prevent mental disorders among teenagers, according to a statement released Tuesday by the Ministry of Education. The statement was released in response to a proposal on preventing depression among teenage students put forth by the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, China's top political advisory body, during its fourth session.

教育部11月9日對政協第十三屆全國委員會第四次會議《關于進一步落實青少年抑郁癥防治措施的提案》進行了答復，明確將推進青少年抑郁癥防治工作，將抑郁癥篩查納入學生健康體檢內容。

A record of students' mental health will also be kept so as to track their health status on a regular basis and offer timely interventions if they show signs of mental illness, the statement said, noting a system for prevention will be put in place.

教育部還表示，將建立學生心理健康檔案，定期評估學生心理健康狀況，對測評結果異常的學生給予及時干預。建立全過程青少年抑郁癥防治體系。
