Depression in Rural China | Sina



Wu Hao—Sina Witness

In rural areas, people with depression can’t openly discuss their illness with family or friends because it is still seen as a taboo. Medical treatment and support are usually far away in the cities. Wu Hao followed Li Ming, a 36-year-old farmer who has suffered from depression for 18 years, and photographed his lone fight.
