◆ Never-ending war Although not well off, mother Han Bok-soon has lived happily by running a small shop for 30 years, supporting her children... However, when she looks at the photo of her five siblings in a corner of her room, tears well up in her eyes. Why do misfortunes strike all at once? Ten years ago, her youngest daughter Seon-ok (29) began showing symptoms of schizophrenia, and her third daughter Hyeon-ok (33, pseudonym), who had graduated from college, was also hospitalized in a mental hospital with similar symptoms... Her only son Byeong-cheol (31) went to a mental hospital as his older sister's guardian, but could not bear the symptoms of schizophrenia and ended up hospitalizing himself. The misfortune did not end there. Her husband, who enjoyed drinking, also began showing symptoms of dementia four years ago, and now he is a young child who cannot control his bowels or speak properly. However, the mother could not give up in the face of this reality. Taking care of four patients, and even collecting waste paper to make a living... It is all the mother's job. ◆ Invisible disease... Mental illness People say that mental illness is possessed by a ghost, or sometimes it is a mental illness caused by a lack of will. However, mental illness is just one of the 'diseases caused by brain abnormalities' like cancer, diabetes, and the common cold. The probability of a person developing a mental illness from birth to death is as high as 20%. Mental illness, which anyone can develop, is not an incurable or intractable disease if they receive consistent treatment. However, incorrect misunderstandings and prejudices about mental illness are driving people with mental illness out of the world. ◆ Back home... After consulting with a doctor, the mother allowed her daughter Hyun-ok (pseudonym) and eldest son Byeong-cheol to go out for the Lunar New Year. The siblings, who returned home after a year, bow deeply to their father, who does not recognize them due to dementia. Will this family have a peaceful time in the future, celebrating the holiday together as a family for the first time in a long time? Just as the beginning was unknown, the end is unknown... The family cannot give up hope, even for the sake of the mother who has sacrificed herself for the family. ※ This video is [Video Record Hospital 24 Hours - Mother's War] aired on February 14, 2003. #Philosophers of Nature #Han Seung-won #Novelist ✔ Documentary is KBS KBS Documentary Official Channel ???? ✔ Subscribe to KBS Documentary ➡️ / @kbsdocumentary The current situation and content may differ somewhat depending on the time of video broadcast.
