NHK documentary examines overdose drug use among young Japanese

Original: ใ‚ชใƒผใƒใƒผใƒ‰ใƒผใ‚บ

A Mainichi Shimbun report previews an NHK Special documentary on the spread of so-called overdosing among young people in Japan, in which users take excessive amounts of medication, often over-the-counter drugs, to escape emotional distress and difficulties in daily life. The programme is based on long-term reporting and sheds light on the reality of the practice, prompting public discussion about youth mental health and drug misuse.

Why now: A major broadcaster's new documentary on youth overdose drug misuse has drawn fresh attention to the issue in Japan.
