webfact Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thesetat2013 Posted January 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2014 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.

Popular Post focus27 Posted January 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2014 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. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post moonao Posted January 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2014 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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsnyder Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

As said, the Public Health Minister didn't invest much thought in his new claimed malady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NongKhaiKid Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 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 ". . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiSuk Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 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). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
