For the past 20 years, mental health services in South Korea have primarily focused on providing tertiary prevention for individuals with mental illness. However, recent efforts have also been made towards primary and secondary prevention through activities like education, outreach, and screening for high-risk groups. The government has also announced plans to improve the national mental health screening, which is currently only conducted once every 10 years for depression. This study aims to evaluate the current mental health screening system and the upcoming plan set for April 2023, and offer suggestions for future improvements.
