紅色高棉時期3年8个月20天，這是柬埔寨人終身難忘的一段歷史。除了影片裡在金邊被屠殺的受害者外，全國人被迫離開家園分配到各地種田。那時只要他們知道是軍官、教師、或是有學問的人一律無理由虐殺。就算沒被紅色高棉人殺也因為飢餓，生病缺少藥物而死亡。而他們殺人之前會把你叫過去一篇空地，說上司有事要見，接著給你一個鏟子或其他工具挖坑，然後站在坑前用布蒙住你的眼睛，再拿木棒或剛剛挖土的工具狠狠打在你的後腦。這接近4年時間過後，加上少數逃離到國外沒回來的人，最終柬埔寨人口只剩一半 （6百多萬人口）。有興趣了解這故事的朋友可以觀看一部電影叫 First, They killed my father.
I'm Cambodia after that Khmer rouge regime I asked my mother, father, my grandma, my grandpa about that regime...and I've noticed that after that regime 1979 there're too many people who has hallucinations, delusional because at least 2 or three people in just one village got that sign and symptoms, but they think it's is because of the demons, ghost depends on religious beliefs. And I assume that this is because of PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and they even die with that severe psychiatric this order. Because of lack of proper treatment.
Political persecution, war fight, and horrofied attacks, which caused reasons are the most tough and special PTSD type. It's really a disaster scale illness. And it will pass down by family education, because the first generation didn't receive a proper treatment. It should be listed in the nation mental heath care. However, current world in the globe, there is just a few medical psychologist noticed that and started to study the therepy. It still is an unkown field, but too much patients have been lacked of psychotherapy. There was a case that I heard about, a man married with his wife, and confused in a long time by his father in law. His father in law has a habbit for locked anythings, such as doors, closets, witdrawers, even the frigirater, and each of these have not just one lock but many. Until he found a truth that his father in law is a victim of political persecution. His father in law had been in jail as a political criminal for many years. No one knows what had happened when he was in there. And his father in law have never told any person about it, even his wife and his kids. The only thing that they can tell from him is his father in law doesn't trust people, and feels no secure anytime and anywhere. It is a Political persecution PTSD, no doult. But noone knows he needs a psychological counseling.
