TSA2020 Section1-01 真题
 
The 21st century is witnessing a significant rise in the proportion of people being diagnosed by medical professionals as having a mental illness. For example, at the turn of the century, the number of Canadians being treated for depression increased by over 30% in just one year. A recent study in the US found that nearly twice the number of young people there were diagnosed with a mental disorder in 2018 as compared to 2003. The World Health Organization estimates that by 2028, depression will be the second leading type of disability worldwide. It is clear that aspects of the modern world make it more difficult for people to maintain good mental health.
 
Which one of the following is the best statement of the flaw in the above argument?
 
A Changes in health care and a decrease in stigma attached to mental illness may be responsible for higher diagnosis rates.
 
B Many people with a mental health diagnosis may be able to function well in society.
 
C Significant numbers of people may be hesitant to seek help for mental health concerns
 
from doctors or other medical professionals.
 
D Some physical and behavioural factors may make mental health diagnoses more difficult.
 
E In some cultures people may prefer to seek help for mental health concerns from religious leaders as opposed to doctors.
