Mental Health Expo at Kintex


The Korean Neuro-Psychiatric Association and MBC will hold a Mental Health Expo at Ilsan’s Kintex, Saturday and Sunday. The free event will offer free consultations with psychiatrists and activities for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), game addiction, depression and dementia, as well as 100 lectures by medical professionals and those who have recovered from various illnesses.

The hall will house five “villages,” or booths. Parents can bring their children to the booth by Dream-I Village to be tested for ADHD, internet and game addiction and receive advice from practitioners on healthy parenting. Healing Village invites visitors to diagnose themselves for alcohol, substance, gambling, Internet and smoking addictions. It will also screen video clips on fighting addiction. Golden Village welcomes seniors and caregivers who wish to learn about daily exercise to ameliorate dementia. Adults can speak with doctors at Happiness Village on depression that may accompany prolonged unemployment or after giving birth. Hope Village will tackle the issue of suicide.
