Abstract
ABSTRACT China has established preventive systems for mental health. However, it is still facing the challenges from the scarcity of resources, the regional differences in service development, the underdevelopment of community rehabilitation and the shortage of the public mental health education. The paper reviews the establishment and development of the Chinese mental health programme since 1949, with highlights in its achievement, barriers and challenges.
