Die COVID-19 pandemie se invloed op sielkundige trauma

Daar het ’n kollektiewe apokaliptiese bries oor die mensdom kom hang sedert Maart 2020. Die virale pandemie het ’n voor die hand liggende en kwantifiseerbare traumatiese impak op die samelewing in sy geheel veroorsaak. Mense word siek. Geliefdes word aan die dood afgestaan. Miljoene ekstroverte se lewensenergie word maand vir maand gedreineer weens die gebrek aan interaksie.

Phobia: The Fear that Makes No Sense

About 10% of the adult population experience unrealistic or “illogical” fears, which are called phobias. Phobias are normally not sensible, and people suffering from specific phobias realise the illogical nature of their fears. For example, people who are intensely scared of spiders normally realise that almost all spiders are harmless, and that spiders are probable more scared of humans than the other way around.

Obsessive-Compulsive behaviour increases as a result of COVID-19

During a pandemic people struggling with OCD symptoms can worsen considerably. Individuals who obsessed with cleanliness and hygiene before the onset of COVID-19 will especially be affected. They are likely to obsess more about the risk of contamination and would be inclined to increase their frequency of compulsive cleaning or scrubbing.

Veranderinge in die konteks van Covid

Tydens Maart 2020 het die meeste mense gedink dat die effek van COVID-19 teen Augustus 2020 verby sou wees. Toe dit blyk om nie die geval te wees nie, was die hoop en vertroue darem daar dat 2021 verligting sou bring. Dit is egter nou duidelik dat die pandemie die manier hoe ons na die wêreld om ons kyk, onherroeplik verander het. Die mensdom sal nooit weer op dieselfde manier dink aan rituele soos om mekaar ‘n handdruk te gee nie.

Understanding Anxiety in the time of COVID-19

The sudden occurrence of a pandemic like COVID-19 is a harsh reminder that we actually are not in control of our environment and that unexpected things can happen at any moment. The fact that we are not really in control is a fact that does not sit easy with humans, as it provokes excessive anxiety about what might happen.

Middeljare krisis

Die sogenaamde middeljare is die tydperk waartydens die meeste mense begin gekonfronteer word met hulle sterflikheid, asook die wete dat daar nie eindelose produktiewe jare is wat voorlê nie. By mans is hierdie lewensfase min of meer van toepassing tussen 40 en 55, en by vroue 35 tot 50. Menige beskrywings en definisies word aan hierdie tydperk in mense se lewe gegee.

Stigmatising in the time of COVID-19

While it is understandable that people experience uncertainty, panic and stress in these times, stigmatising an individual or group of people is basically discrimination based on irrational fears and the need to blame. Stigmatisation, especially with the context of COVID-19, is almost always based on a lack of information and lack of understanding.

Die siekte van ons tyd

Wêreldwyd word gepraat van ‘n “depressie-epidemie”, en alhoewel hierdie gemoedstryd so algemeen in ‘n modern wêreld geword het, lyk dit asof mense nog nie besef hoe gevaarlik die toestand is nie. Om maar enkele voorbeelde te noem: In Suid-Afrika is depressie die tweede grootste oorsaak van sterftes by mense tussen die ouderdomme van 15 en 25.

A Rational Relationship?

Human beings are more irrational than rational. Put in different terms, the reason/s why people act the way they do are more than often not logical and cannot be explained rationally. If this was not the case, the world we live in would have been governed by factual, rational arguments and differences would have been sorted out peacefully and for the greater good of all parties involved.

Skisofrenie

Daar bestaan baie wanopvattings oor skisofrenie, asook wat die term “skisofrenie” eintlik beteken. Baie van hierdie wanopvattings bestaan omdat skisofrenie ‘n ingewikkelde siekte is om te verstaan, asook om te diagnoseer. Skisofrenie is ‘n ernstige kondisie van die brein waar mense die realiteit as anders as die gemiddelde persoon ervaar.

Die rol van die man in ‘n krisis?

Wat beteken dit in ons huidige samelewing om ‘n man te wees? Wat ís die rol van ‘n man? Dit is deesdae baie moeilik om ‘n man se rol te definieer. Feitlik al die definitiewe beskouings wat daar vantevore hieroor was, word nou bevraagteken of verwerp. Dit veroorsaak dat baie mans onseker voel, depressief raak en al meer geïsoleerd raak.
