webfact Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Mental Health Department: More Thais are suffering from mental disorderBANGKOK, 3 Feb 2015, (NNT) - The Department of Mental Health has revealed that more and more Thais are suffering from mental disorders caused by factors such as economy, politics, natural disaster and depression.According to Dr. Pongkasem Kaimuk, the Department Deputy Director-General, those prone to the illness consist mainly of the elderly who tend to have depression.He said these people must be closely watched. The general public should have a firm understanding of what these people are going through, and have a good attitude toward them, in order to treat and care for them appropriately.A seminar was held yesterday at Suansaranrom Hospital in Suratthani Province, educating nurses and related health officials in the mental health department on the proper treatment of and care for mental patients.The Deputy Director-General said he was convinced that the meeting would be another step toward building a happy depression-free community.-- NNT 2015-02-03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmsally Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 There will be more and more of this. Thailand has "developed" rapidly over the last 40years. Less and less people find themselves with a support network and Thais are a whole are very bad at forward planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaltsc Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) "The Department of Mental Health has revealed that more and more Thais are suffering from mental disorders..."

slapout Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 the mental disorders exhibited by the elderly (say 60 years of age +) are likely the least threat/concern to the general public. not too many gangs, rapist, purse snatchers, thugs, etc in the senior citizen groups here or the rest of the world, that i have heard about. the groups who range in age from 15/16 to about 40+ seem to be responsible for most of the problems, which are blamed on drugs, booze, jeaously, lack of money, social/road rage, etc. (mental disorders), the older generation are the main stay of what little social order we see, apparently due to their acceptance of lifes ups and downs,as it is dealt to them.

LuckyLew Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 There will be more and more of this. Thailand has "developed" rapidly over the last 40years. Less and less people find themselves with a support network and Thais are a whole are very bad at forward planning. Of course there is no support network in Thailand, that would mean asking for help and admitting you are not peerfect I guess you have not discovered Thainess yet ... Thais are perfect and will not admit anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.... Those same mental disorders from old age are passed on to grandchildren because the parents don't want to raise their own kids and smack them onto their parents with or without disorders. So these kids are raised thinking its normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangebrew Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Come guys the root cause is Frangs we all know it will be found to be the cause. Since Thai's will never live up to the fact that there all "NUTS". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobo4819 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Thainess causes others to perceive it as a mental disorder, or Thainess causes mental disorder, or Thainess is a mental disorder. Come to Thailand and celebrate Thainess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chainarong Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I am not surprised , with the amount of B/S being bandied about by the Junta it's a wonder more Thai's ain't drowning , however seriously they all want to live like those lucky people in Nth America and haven't a hope in hades.

selftaopath Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hardly a surprise, but at least it's being openly discussed in public, no longer the taboo it once was. More specifically, I wonder if/when they will ever acknowledge/discuss how alcoholism is impacting Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
