Mental Issues After Election Results Also Haunt Supporters

"Dream - The general election (Pemilu) on February 14, 2024, was enthusiastically welcomed by many parties. One of the reasons is that the people can directly elect the President and his deputy. Also, representatives from each region for the parliament. "

After casting their votes in the Election, many people eagerly await the results of the vote count with hopeful anticipation.

For those involved in the world of politics, whether as candidates or supporters, defeat in the election can trigger serious mental problems. Ashwin Kandouw, a Specialist in Psychiatry from Pondok Indah Hospital (RSPI) - Pondok Indah, explains that defeat in the election can have an impact on various parties, not only on the losing candidates, but also on party members and their supporters.

"Who do I mean by all of that? Well, candidates who experience defeat are certainly vulnerable, then party members who lose can also be affected, and even more broadly, supporters who are not mentally prepared and candidates or parties (they support) that lose can also be affected,"

"Mental Problems"

The following is the translation of the provided 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The mental problem usually starts with a feeling of stress that can develop into anxiety, depression, and even psychosis disorders if not properly addressed. Prolonged anxiety can cause changes in behavior and mood, including prolonged sadness, decreased concentration, loss of interest in usual activities, and even sleep and eating disorders."

Besides that, prolonged stress can also lead to psychosis disorders, where a person begins to lose contact with reality, hallucinations or delusions may occur. Ashwin emphasizes that an individual's response to defeat is highly dependent on their perception and mental readiness. This can vary, where some are able to accept defeat gracefully, while others may experience severe stress even if they are not the ones directly losing.

Therefore, it is important for everyone to mentally prepare themselves for both victory and defeat.

"So there are many factors, depending on how one perceives it and their mental readiness as well. That's why it's good for everyone to prepare themselves for the possibility of winning or losing," added Ashwin. Source: Liputan6.com.
