Look ,personally I want this to be perfect ,to include every single detail not mentioned about the DPRK in the west ,also no I’m not gonna tell you how I have contact with a DPRK diplomat ,please ask sincere questions and remember this is a DPRK diplomat, not a citizen so there is stuff that they can’t answer and stuff that they aren’t allowed to answer

If my friend from the DPRK replies ,I will update you but this is for someone else ,I’ve acquired a lot of important info on the DPRK that I want to share with all of you and this is so that it could be perfect ,please ask good questions

So far this is the answer thread

If I may burden you with one more curiosity of mine. It's related to @infuziSporg@hexbear.net final question:

In the DPRK what is the people's and the states view on mental diagnoses like Autism, ADHD, Schizophrenia and depression and those that "suffer" from them?

I'm curious to know wether they're even acknowledged (it's not every country that treats mental health with the same attitude as physical health.) and if they are, how the people who have it are treated. Are they outcasts (lots of places that care for mental health still finds it "shameful" and will look down on someone with a diagnosis), are they expected to be able to do the same work as all other physically fit people, are they even allowed to work, do they have to live in asylums? Stuff like that.

“ The rights of DPRK citizens with disabilities are protected by the Persons With Disability Protection Law of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the Social Security Law of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, and the Common Education Law of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

Disabled citizens in the DPRK are respected and given outlets to express themselves as demonstrated in the following Rodong Sinmun articles.”

That's really cool! Thank you for asking, Mohammed ♥️ And thanks to them for answering! It sounds great. Do you know if "disabled people" covers mental disabilities as well? I'll assume they do, but clarification would be neat.
The first link just directs me to a blank page sadly.
