Lost in Translation: The Health of Chinese Netizens

A recent report on a China survey says that about “73 percent of Chinese netizens are in sub-healthy state with 70 percent of them suffering from psychological problems.” But here’s the key quote: “More than 70 percent netizens have suffered amnesia, anxiety and scatterbrained problems, however, 90 percent of them never resort to psychological doctors, the survey showed.”

What?

Is being scatterbrained now in the DSM (Diagnostics and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders)? Is it a treatable condition? Will I be able at last find my car keys?

Maybe we’re talking about a little ADD (attention deficit disorder) here which sounds a bit more in line with what you would expect.
