Shrink: Psychiatrist Yowai

Shrink〜精神科医ヨワイ〜

Psychiatrist Konosuke Yowai works in a country where mental illness is said to stay hidden. Japan reports fewer mental health patients than countries such as the United States, yet its suicide rate remains among the worst in the developed world, and many people endure panic disorder, depression, developmental disorders or PTSD without telling anyone.

Yowai hopes to change that. He believes psychiatric care should not be treated as something exceptional, and he wants the number of people who seek treatment to grow instead of staying silent. In his consultations he meets patients whose suffering has gone unspoken, and he works to bring the shadows in their minds into the light.

Even so, stigma and the gaps in Japan's psychiatric care keep many from asking for help, and Yowai confronts those obstacles one patient at a time.
