Detainee assaulted at the police station now suffers from depression

At 9 pm, 31 March 2020, Hung encountered a squad of riot police near Prince Edward Station. While the police were dispersing dozens of onlookers towards Lai Chi Kok Road, Hung followed the direction of the crowd. Not long, more riot police all of a sudden showed up and closed in on the crowd Hung was in. “The police were insane. Out of the blue they jumped out of their vehicles, rushed towards us, pushed us around with force. It was chaotic.”

¼ HK population shows symptoms of moderate or severe depression

On Jan 21, 2021, the Mental Health Association of Hong Kong and Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences of City University jointly revealed record high Depression Index in 2020 in Hong Kong.

The survey shows that the proportion of depressed people in Hong Kong has shot sharply up in 2020: 25% were mildly depressed and 23% were moderately to severely depressed, a 27% increase compared to 2018.

That means, every one in four people in the city has shown symptoms of moderate to severe depression. Among them only 10% claimed willingness to seek professional assistance. The largest number of respondents said pressure came from "political/social environment" (62.5%), followed closely by "pandemic" (61.7%).
