JAKARTA - Hospitals in China managed to attract public attention after opening a special service called Clinics Don't Like going to Work, which aims to help people experience anxiety and depression due to work pressure. The clinic was opened by the Integrated China and West Traditional Medicine Hospital Qinhuangdao, located in Hebei Province, northern China.

The idea of opening this clinic initially came from parents who had previously taken their children to a Clinical Not Like School, which is a service that already exists and is designed to help children who experience academic stress and emotional problems related to school.

"In the past, when children came to the Clinic did not like schools, some parents asked if there was a similar service for adults who didn't want to go to work," said Yue Limin, Director of the Department of Sleep and Psychology of the hospital as well as the head of this clinic, quoted from the South Morning China Post website.

According to Yue, many adults experience fatigue, run out of energy, are emotionally unstable, or feel their work is meaningless.

"But if we immediately refer to it as an anxiety disorder or depression, maybe the patient feels embarrassed or stigmatized," said Yue.

"We hope that by naming like this, people can come to consult without pressure," he continued.

Yue explained that these symptoms often come from complex psychological or social factors. The task of medical personnel is to find the cause, conduct a thorough evaluation, then provide appropriate handling and support.

The diagnosis process is carried out through interviews and physical examinations to get rid of other possible diseases, such as hyperthyroidism. After that, the team of doctors will draw up a personalized treatment plan.

Although this clinic went viral and received widespread attention, Yue revealed that the number of patients who actually came was still relatively small. However, this topic has caused various funny reactions and sarcastic comments on social media.

"Anyone who thinks about this clinic idea is really a genius," commented the netizen.

"You came to the clinic and there were no doctors, because they also didn't want to go to work," wrote another netizen.

"Why do you go to this clinic? After leaving, it becomes a love for work right away?" continued another netizen.

This hospital step is in the spotlight, because it touches serious issues about work pressure and mental health among adult workers. This is something that is often still considered taboo to talk about openly in many cultures, including China.
