AB - The rapid social change due to the advancement of technology is responsible for increasing the level of stress on people and triggering depression and suicide. This paper examined the current mental health status of one community in Korea, aiming to provide the basic data for an evidence-based scientific policy. The average degree of depression of the subjects was 10.95 and the depression prevalence rate was 8.4%. Out of the 89 people with depression, 84.3% did not receive any treatments. 27 people (3.9% of the total subjects) had suicidal thoughts over the past year, out of which 3 actually attempted suicide. 88.4% of the subjects experienced daily stress, and its biggest factor was financial difficulty. The level of daily stress appeared higher in younger age groups. Based on the findings, it is advised to develop and enforce mental health policies appropriate to various demographic groups.
