Abstract: Objective To investigate the situation of mental disability in Hebei province. Methods Based on the survey of the Second National Disabled Sample in Hebei province, the data of mental disability were analysed, including the morbidity, severity, causes, and the service and demand. Results The morbidity of mental disability was higher in the countryside than that in the city (χ2=364.24, P<0.01). The severity of the disabled was more in level 3 or 4 than in level 1 and 2 (χ2=221.16, P<0.01). The genetic disease and brain disease were the major causes to the mental disability. The service did not meet the demand. Conclusion The mental disability was more in the countryside than in the city, with severity of mild to moderate.
