Man goes berserk after 5-day lockdown

By The Nation

 

 

A Surat Thani man quarantined for five days on the order of his village headman went berserk yesterday and had to be detained by police.

 

Wiang Sa Police Station was notified that a 32-year-old was unable to control himself and was screaming continuously inside his house.

 

Police told his mother to distract her son by talking to him while they snuck into the house via the backdoor. Once inside, they apprehended the man and took him to the police station. It took about an hour before he could calm himself.

 

The man’s mother said he had just arrived back from Bangkok and she had locked him inside the house following the quarantine order. After the fifth day of confinement, he started to show signs of stress and loss of control.

 

She explained that her son had mental issues and might not have been taking his medication while living in Bangkok. He was later sent to a hospital to be checked by medical experts.

Not only in Thailand.... all over the world will be the same problem

Odd. Thailand doesn't have a lockdown.

More's the pity.

Is screaming in your home a criminal offense?

... while operating a grinder/welder 24/7 not?

Indeed! when Steven100 loses faith in his "government" we are all doomed! ????

It is a difficult job for any law enforcement during this situation when they have to calm or take someone in .. They have to get in close proximity to folk who may well be infected and without the correct P P E for that sort of dilemma it must increase the risk of them getting infected also .. 

Nasty thing when you have to make peace with yourself in isolation. Many have spent all their lives running away from themselves. I on the other hand cherish all my numerous flaws and am happy to stay home.

Did his mother remember to have water and food in the house or him??????

Note to @colinneil, it's not working.

Sounds like drug/alcool withdrawal.

What a terrible, hurtful thing to say, reading some of your posts, is enough to send even the sanest of people loco.

There are too many dementors on TV for the mentally fragile. 

Obviously watching too much CNN

Think about people with mental problems, it will get a lot worse now.

I have recently read that for some people, the initial Covid-19 symptoms may include loss of the sense of taste and/or smell. Now I suspect that simple over-exposure to, and obsession with Covid-19 related news may result in the loss of the funny bone.

There are many cases in which quarantine is warranted, including travel from Bangkok, depending on his circumstances of exposure to the virus. 

Sadly, and with due respect, may I ask how many will take their own life due to unforeseen pressures?

The cure is getting noticeably worse than the disease ????
