Pandemic friends and mental health
It is a fact that mental health has been abandoned by the country's institutions and in a pandemic the scenario is neither different or favorable.
From my experience and conversations with my close friends the pandemic has had a negative effect on us by the confinement and everything else that happens in Chile.
In the sense that it has created new fears insecurities and for sometimes not having a support network at home.
During quarantine I have had really bad days and what has helped me is watching movies and listening to music and something important is calling my friends by zoom or FaceTime. Doing this some days is difficult but it has really helped me to have a little “normality” in my life.
If someone who is reading this feel bad or sad I send you a lot of encouragement and hope that things will better soon.
Mental health is and has always been a problem in this country, what happened was that people in pandemic began to suffer from those taboo diseases that only affected a small group. Such as anxiety or depression. At that time they began to talk much more, when before people who suffered from this it was as if they did not exist idk sad :(
ResponderEliminarhi isi.
ResponderEliminarI`m with you, the quarantine really affected me, at the begenning it wasn`t so bad, but a years later it`s really frustrating. Regarding to mental health, nothing has happened to me, but sometime I feel a little down for the classes.
Hi
ResponderEliminarI'm completely agree with you. Mental health is a very important point of our health, but, sadly, it seems that it doesn't matter. And online classes aren't help us with that
I know a lot of people that can not acces to a good mental health, people with wrong diagnosis that were medicates bad just for not be able to pay a good psychologist. the view in Chile of this services it's just sad :(
ResponderEliminarHello Isi!
ResponderEliminarI really share your opinion. Mental health has deteriorated a lot with this pandemic in much of the population (if not all) and that is terrible considering that this society itself does not take the weight to mental health.
I hope everything goes in the best way in these difficult times, lots of encouragement and strength! best regards :)
