Психологические расстройства 
1. Read about Japanese boy and say what hikikomori is.
What are you doing tomorrow? Japanese teen Hirokatsu Kobayashi is spending the entire day and night in his bedroom, playing video games and shutting out the outside world. He has done this for nearly 2 years now. He is just one of a million teenagers in Japan who is suffering Hikikomori – a particular type of depression that causes teens to become introverted recluses.
2. Read and answer the question: What is the cause of deep depression?
Exams, concerns about popularity, society says must be a good son, a good student, get a good job, be a particular type of person… the list of pressures is endless and life can get to you. Although these difficulties exist in plenty of countries, hikikomori ( a Japanese word) is specific to Japanese boys. Sociologists can’t agree whether it is a social phenomenon or a disease, but it is as ; a withdrawal from society for over 6 months’. 6 months is a long time but many people have withdrawn from society with hikikomori for up to 30 years.
To think
Could hikikomori happen in your country?
What would you do if your brother suffered from hikikomori?
