Patients have lunch in the Kunming Mental Hospital on December 1, 2007, Yunnan Province, southwest China. According to Chinese government statistics, more than five percent of the population are suffering from varying degrees of psychiatric disturbance.

It's not a surprise that people in this mental hospital are living in their own little worlds. I'm struck by their body language and the complete lack of interaction. I guess they are better off than many of the mentally ill homeless folks living on the streets.
