"PTSD is a disease. It cannot be cured through short courses or rest. The sufferers must be put under professional and continuous treatment," Zhang said.
The aid includes training courses on mental health guidance, health examinations, talk therapy, vacations and sports, he said. The Sichuan government dispatched groups last year to 10 of the worst-hit counties to relieve officials' mental stress and ensure every official took holidays. The government also spent funds in improving the work and living conditions of the officials. Experts admitted China still lacks mental health professionals and staff trained in handling PTSD. Zhan plans to spend 10 year or even longer researching and adjusting treatment programs to help survivors with emotional disorders. "We are trying to train more people within two years, but mental health assistance in the quake zones needs more time."
