Mental health.It's not an easy topic to broach in China,despite the fact that the nation has long acknowledged its existence.The earliest recorded form of care for the mentally ill can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty(AD 618-907),during which a monk-administrated charity facility called Bei Tian Fang took up the role of aiding the homeless,widows,orphans and those with psychoses.However,it was n't until 1898 that the country's first specialized psychiatric hospital,Refuge for the Insane,was established in Guangzhou.
