- Caption: Jinshan, Taiwan. August, 2008 - Twelve year old Joy, a "straight A" student at Jinshan Middle School had stage fright for a play she was assigned to do for her English class. She claims she suffers from social anxiety issues which require medication, according to the webmd articles she read, but has not discussed it with her parents. As she explains, roughly translated from Chinese, "My parents don't believe in the Western ideas of psychology including depression and anxiety. They think it's just a ploy for the pharmaceutical industries to make more money."
