The Malta Chamber of Psychologists today urged the authorities, public officials and politicians to put the nation’s mental, emotional and psychological wellbeing at the forefront of any decision they make.
The recent political climate has created a strong sense of unrest, uncertainty, instability, anger, loss and fear in our country. This pathological and unhealthy social current breeds a sense of betrayal and helplessness and may cause stress-induced psychological repercussions, especially on those prone to anxiety and depression.
It risks having a long-term impact on our nation’s wellbeing and can no longer go on. The Chamber urges politicians and people of influence to act in our nation’s best interest to quickly restore stability and unity, and to start healing the damage that has already been done to our collective psyche.
We also urge every individual to come together through all of this, and not to allow such a climate to cause division, hostility and separation. #wecanallmakeadifference #strongertogether #mentalhealthawareness
