环球慢速英语 世界精神卫生日(4)

Voice 1: People can receive treatment for mental disorders¹. But treatment can be difficult to find. And it can be even more difficult for a person to find mental help when he is far away from his home or culture. Many cultures deal with mental problems in different ways. This is the issue that the World Federation² for Mental Health wants people to look at on October 10, 2007.
