County's Need Is Great
In Mental Health Field
?
By MRS. JACK KLOHP
Secretary, llaywood County
Mental Hygiene Society
We do not have actual Agures
that show the size of the mental
health problem here in Haywood
County, hut rough estimates have
been made by applying mental ill
ness rates obtained by two sur
veys to the 1950 census figures.
These figures suggest that in
our own countv there are about 2.
352 persons with mental illness or
personality disorder; that in 1952
there were about (55 babies born
who will need hospitalization lat
er for mental disorders; that in this
county there are about 305 children
with behavior disorders; and that
in our schools there are about 297
children who have progress prob
lems without mental deficiency.
Did you know that according to
two surveys 6 to 7 per cent of the
total population in this country is
suffering from mental disorders
and other personality disorders?
And did sou know that 90 per cent
of these cases are psychoneuroses
and personality disorders which do
not require hospital care? A num
ber of these are nevertheless in
mental hospitals because of the
lack of resources for oul-patient
treatment. Others are living right
here among us. untreated, trying
to rear families without the help
they need with their own emotion
al problems.
Did you know that one in 12
children born each year in this
country will at some time require
treatment in a mental hospital. And
that the number of children who
will develop less serious mental
illness is greater than 1 to 12?
Did you know that while it Is
possible that tendencies towards
mental illness may be inherited,
that mental illness is not a heredi
tary disease? That mental illness
can be caused or prevented by en
vironmental conditions, relation
, ships, experiences over which it is
possible for us to have some meas
ure of control? And that our most
hopeful approach to our mental
[health problem is in the area of
prevention and early treatment?
A full-grown mental illness is
hard to treat and can be treated
only in a hospital. We must K'vc
our mental hospitals all possible
support, hut most of all we need
to do all we can to avoid increas
ing their patient population
1 Is orvi t rr !-? - - ?' ' *
i.KwuKu uui own t'noris xowarfls i
development of local resources to
recognize and treat early symp
toms.
What then can we do in our own
households? Mental illness, juven
ile delinquency, maladjustments,
even some apparently physical dis
orders that are actually mental in
origin, can to a much greater ex
tent be caused or prevented in J
the familv than in any other place.
I think it is very true that "the !
family that prays together, stays!
together." ' ;
In a family, common faith in God
provides a security and inner'
peace that is surely basic to mental
health. Family relationships typical
of a truly Christian family are cer
tainly healthy relationships from
the standpoint of mental health.
First of all we can help our
county's mental health problem by
making our own homes Christian
in the finest sense. Second, we can
inform ? ourselves about mental
health and about the causes of mal
adjustments over which we have
control, and we can do our best 1?
"keep our own house in order".
Third, we can join with others who
are working to provide better pro
fessional resources for prevention
and treatment of mental ill health,
both in our county and in our
state. '
For example, we can support the
N, C. State Board of Health in its
request for $380,000 from the 1955
slate legislature for the expansion
of six existing mental hygiene
clinics and the addition-of four
new clinics. And much can be done
through the Haywood County chap
ter of the North Carolina Mental
Hygiene Society. This group will
meet tonight at the First Methodist ;
Church in Waynesville to hear Mr.
Stanley Nale. clinical psychologist
from the State Department of Wei-'
fare and to plan the year's work.
Visitors and new members will
be very much welcome at this meet
ing. Members of the society will be
in an ideal position to learn more
about mental health, to pass on
such knowledge to others, and to
influence powers that be to develop
resources. As secretary of the
county society, I urge you to at-;
tend if you possibly can
