METHANOL
(Mental Health for Teenagers)
SCOPH CIMSA FK UNRI
Hello CIMSA!
CIMSA UNRI successfully held METHANOL on Saturday, 9th October 2021 from 10:00 am – 01.00 pm. This activity was held online via Zoom Meeting due to the COVID – 19 situation that occurred around the world and there is still a prohibition to organize large groups of people to break the chain of spreading the virus.
Anxiety and depression are two common mental health problems. Nevertheless, most people do not know what the difference between them. In fact, getting an accurate diagnosis about the mental condition is very important for appropriate treatment.
According to WHO, depression is one of the leading causes of disability. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among 15-29-year-olds. People with severe mental health conditions die prematurely – as much as two decades early – due to preventable physical conditions. These data show that mental health problems must be resolved immediately.
So, SCOPH CIMSA UNRI hold METHANOL (Mental Health on Discussed for Anxiety and Depression Among Youth Life). METHANOL has goals to explaining the things participants need to know, especially teenager, about knowledge and awareness how important of mental health. Therefore, it can minimize the number of mental health problems.
