How the outbreaks, are affecting the society, on ALL facets, all levels, beyond what we can, see or know! Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
Due to the outbreaks, hitting hard, it’s estimated, that more than 50,000 individuals in need of counseling couldn’t get the sessions, the examination committee members stated that they’re going to investigate into the matter, and, what of the facts?
Of the COVID-19 cases the hospitals took in, as the mental stresses with the psychological disorders surfaced in the patients, using the long-distance video sessions, and the communal caretaking methods, to offer the needed, assistance. And, even as the hospitals are demanded to keep a lower occupancy rate, the services offered by the psychiatric department didn’t halt! The fifty psychiatric department of the hospitals across the nation still offered the sessions to the citizens. Other than the physical therapy counseling sessions, many of the hospitals and psychiatric clinics also offered the webcam treatment sessions.
The regulation of the Psychiatric orders stated: as the psychiatrists found the patients showing signs of schizophrenia, mental illnesses, or development difficulties, they should transfer the patients. These rules were set forth to protect the rights of the public’s mental health welfare! After all, when the mind has problems, there needed to be a proper diagnosis from the psychiatrist, in order to assign the needed measures of treatment that are necessary.
As the alert level raised to stage three, other than work that’s in need of adjusting, the pressures of the mind, of the body, also exacerbated, with the symptoms of stuffiness in the chest, heart palpitations, headaches, irritable digestive systems, with the signs of anxiety, of depression, all of these, needed the face-to-face consultations from the psychiatrist’s office to get a formal diagnosis.
The long-distance therapy means need to follow the basic principles of need, it’s based off of the regulations of the clinical psychologists’ mandate, before the people go in for the sessions, the therapists needed to make the assessments, then assign the treatment measures.
And so, as the alert level got raised (again!), we’re, under even MORE pressures, and, most of us can still find ways to destress, but those who can, require professional help, but under stage three, everybody’s locked in, and, the provisions of mental health care where it is needed, became, lacking. And, there’s, NOTHING we can do about that!!!
