January 24, 201412 yr Thais advised not to consume too much of politics newsBANGKOK, 24 January 2014 (NNT) – Thai citizens have been advised not to be obsessed with current political developments, as they could develop the so-called political stress syndrome (PPS).The Ministry of Public Health revealed that the ongoing political conflict was having an emotional effect on the people, causing them to inevitably become stressful; if one is unable to recover from this state of mind, he or she could develop the political stress syndrome (PPS). According to the ministry, there are 5 groups at risk of the syndrome, which include politicians, supporters, followers, political news consumers, and those with mental disorders.The Public Health Ministry also pointed out ways to relieve stress such as turning one’s attention to something unrelated to politics, talking to like-minded people, exercising, relaxing oneself, and calming one’s mind by doing religious practices.For those who follow these instructions and still experience a certain level of depression for longer than a week, it is best they consult a psychiatrist, the ministry suggested.-- NNT 2014-01-24
January 24, 201412 yr Popular Post Please define the difference between 'politicians' and 'those with mental disorders'..... ?
January 24, 201412 yr Popular Post Hehee!! IS THIS A JOKE? There must be millions of case studies for this. I think everyone should just vote for the prettiest face because it can be harmful to your health now if you listen to too much politics and start to worry what your future elected leaders will do.

January 24, 201412 yr Popular Post "Thais advised not to consume too much of political news" Please let that advice go out to some Thaivisa posters as well!!
January 24, 201412 yr Popular Post Surely political stress syndrome would be PSS and not PPS. Google the term and the top results are all Thai, so must be an elite delusional disorder (EDD) to stop the sheeple from bleating too loudly.
January 24, 201412 yr Popular Post What a message to send out just prior to an election! Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand
January 24, 201412 yr Yep .. Keep them dumbed down!! Maintain the control! Remember to only read the governments own newspaper!!
January 24, 201412 yr Popular Post BANGKOK, 24 January 2014 (NNT) – Thai citizens have been advised not to be obsessed with current political developments, as they could develop the so-called political stress syndrome (PPS). Should actually read thus. BANGKOK, 24 January 2014 (NNT) – Thai citizens have been advised not to be obsessed with current political developments, as they could develop the so-called political tripe paranoia. (P.T.P.)
January 24, 201412 yr Thais advised not to consume too much of politics news No....they'll just have to consume somtam and sticky rice
January 24, 201412 yr Popular Post Newspapers and journalists also have to bear some responsibility. The Nation for instance, a blatantly anti-thaksin newspaper, is pumping out the propaganda (and probably generating good sales due to the gullibility of its target market). I believe they should show a bit more social and journalistic responsibility instead of fanning the flames.

January 24, 201412 yr Surely political stress syndrome would be PSS and not PPS. Google the term and the top results are all Thai, . You'll have to forgive Yingluck's Public Health Minister. He's just making it all up as he goes... If he's going to postulate on wholly new ailments, he'd be better off investigating his own symptoms of a Thainess Disorientation Virus (TDV) infection.
January 24, 201412 yr ... "and calming one’s mind by doing religious practices." From the frying pan, into the fire.

I believe they should show a bit more social and journalistic responsibility instead of fanning the flames. Another example is the aptly named Khao Sod, a blatantly pro-Thaksin newspaper, is pumping out propaganda (and probably generating great sales due to the gullibility of its tarket market). It's evident that they should show a bit more social and journalistic responsibility instead of fanning the flames.
January 24, 201412 yr ... "and calming ones mind by doing religious practices." From the frying pan, into the fire. Indeed, religion and politics. As said, the Public Health Minister didn't invest much thought in his new claimed malady.
January 24, 201412 yr Popular Post I don't think we ever have to worry about Thais thinking too much.
January 24, 201412 yr as they could develop the so-called political stress syndrome (PPS). er ??? P P S ???
January 24, 201412 yr As said above you couldn't make this up. What a county, with all sides in the ongoing conflict insisting the public needs to the truth, their version of course, the Public Health Ministry says " Ignore It ". .
January 24, 201412 yr Pity the Thais can't watch Channel News Asia (as it is in English language) - seems to be the only foreign media source covering the conflict with any journalistic skill and on substantially more than a soundbite basis. Their current one hour analysis documentary showing today is about as good as you could expect from a foreign news (Singapore) media. I highly recommend this channel (CTH and maybe other providers).
January 24, 201412 yr I think we all suffer from Political Stress Syndrome here on this board section
