Peer Review

[edit]

Overall your article was concise, easy to understand, and informative. You did a great job in gathering and integrating various scholarly sources! The main area of improvement for this article is specificity. For instance, “stigma” and “discrimination” are frequently mentioned in your article, but specific examples are not provided. I would also love to see a section about the potential causes of mental illness in South Korea. Many readers, myself included, would be very interested in knowing what cultural-specific factors lead to depression, insomnia, internet addiction disorder, etc. Another suggestion is to link your article from other articles. I recommend putting your article in the “See also” section of “South Korea” and “Suicide in South Korea.” Aleong809 (talk) 04:59, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a very informative article with abundant figures and comprehensive exploration of multiple aspects of the mental health issues in South Korea. Though this topic has called wide attention worldwide, most people (including me) have focused mostly on suicidal rates in the country instead of giving a more well-rounded examination on the mental health issues in general, as this article has done. I personally have learned a lot and re-thought about my own perspective on this issue after reading the article. I think an important aspect of improvement is to include some information concerning the potential explanations of severe mental health problems in South Korea, which readers may naturally come to wonder after reading this article.
