Dr. Totsuka will provide us with an overview of the Mental Health Act of Japan and will address the current challenges that persons with mental disabilities and their families face in Japan given the current provisions of this Act and how it impacts how mental health practitioners care for their patients and how public authorities handle matters involving such persons.
