Some qualification notes on cultural differences: japanese society tends to pretend "mental illness" doesn't exist. So rarely are people *treated* for mental disorders or neurotic problems, usually the community/family/friends just try to work around the problem.
So... what in the US or Europe might immediately get you put in therapy or on drugs (assuming you can afford it) is just part of the daily experience in Japan.
