In the people of Zhejiang province, 69.8% were completely mentally healthy, 9.4% were troubled, 7.3% were vulnerable, 13.5% were symptomatic but content. The distribution results were consistent with those of foreign researches. The results between the six-point method and Keyes’ method were significantly different(χ2 =187.5, P<0.01). In this study, a combination of PHQ-9, GAD-7 and GHQ-12 was used in the study, and 22.9% of the population were screened for mental illness.
