In the fast-paced modern life, mental health has long entered the public eye from a hidden corner and is no longer a niche topic. However, the inertia of "indifference" has not completely dissipated - some people attribute depression and anxiety to "overthinking", some people avoid seeking help due to prejudice, and some people hesitate due to cost considerations.

At the 2025 Health Industry High Quality Cooperation and Development Conference, which successfully concluded in Hangzhou in October, the heavyweight release of the "Ten Questions for Future Health Year" white paper precisely captured the profound transformation behind this contradiction, and with authoritative insights as anchor points, pointed out the direction for breaking through and upgrading in the field of mental health.

Why are Chinese people so indifferent to mental illness?

1、 Data analysis: Mental health has become a 'high-frequency necessity'

Clear portrait of core target audience

Gender and age: The proportion of female users is about three times that of male users, and they are more inclined to relieve stress through venting; The "Z generation" aged 18-24 (college students, newcomers to the workplace) have become the core group, bearing multiple pressures during the critical period of growth.

Urban distribution: New first tier city users focus on "workplace stress management", while second tier cities have seen a surge in search volume for "loneliness" and "social anxiety" due to the influx of young people and incomplete social networks.

2. Search popularity confirms essential attributes

The total search index for psychological counseling reached 3.47 million, with an average of nearly 10000 searches per day. From September 2024 to January 2025, the daily search volume remained in the range of 15000 to 25000, and the high-frequency search curve confirmed the rigid demand for mental health.

2、 Breaking through pain points: Directly addressing the core contradiction from the essence of demand

Keyword clustering analysis clearly outlines the core pain points in the field of mental health:

Users' core demands for specific symptoms such as depression and anxiety are driven by the continuous accumulation of external pressures such as "social, work, and study". "Psychological counseling" is the main way to seek help, while "exercise and socializing" have become low-cost self-regulation choices, forming a demand logic of "symptom manifestation → stress attribution → proactive response".

But this logical chain is trapped by three layers of shackles, leading to a coexistence of indifference and difficulty in seeking help:

Cognitive bias: denial, subconscious avoidance

Misalignment of demand: a gap in the connection between professional support and self-regulation

Resource barrier: professional services are 'unattainable'

3、 The 2026 International Future Health Industry Conference is here!

As the top event in the global health industry, the 2026 International Future Health Industry Conference will grandly kick off from October 16-18, 2026 at the Hangzhou International Expo Center (the host of the G20 summit).

Top experts in the field of psychology and industry experts will be invited to the event to gather global wisdom and explore universal and standardized solutions, injecting strong impetus into the breakthrough and upgrading of the mental health field.
