I Was a Caged Bird: Psychiatric Hospitalization in Japan
Japan is a psychiatric hospital superpower. About 20% of all the psychiatric hospital beds in the world are concentrated in Japan, where many patients are confined for long periods of time. The United Nations and the World Health Organization have criticized this situation as a serious violation of human rights, but the actual conditions have been largely hidden from sight in Japan. However, after the 2011 nuclear power accident, the problem has begun to come into view. There are people who have spent more than half of their lives in the hospital. Others never required hospitalized care in the first place. The program follows the lives of a number of these patients and examines the reasons behind this problem.
精神科病院大国、日本。世界の病床のおよそ２割が集中し、長期間、精神科病院で過ごす人が少なくない。国連やＷＨＯなどからは「深刻な人権侵害」と勧告を受けてきたが、その内実はほとんど知られることはなかった。ところが、原発事故をきっかけにその一端が見え始めてきた。人生の大半を病院で過ごした人。入院治療の必要がなかった人。番組では、患者たちの人生を追うとともに、なぜこのような事態が生じてきたのかを探る。
