plea –Meanwhile, psychological distress is present more Since the beginning of the epidemic, especially among those under the age of eighteen. He gave an interview to Ilfattoquotidiano.it, the national president of the Syndicate of Psychologists David Lazzari Remember that Diseases anxiety and depression It affects two out of every ten people, while cases of “adjustment disorder” affect more than one in four people. And on the gateway to the order, he wrote an appeal demanding more attention to the sector, acting as a translator “not only for those who study the subject at a scientific level but also Among all these citizens, unfortunately there are many, who claim dignity and listen to mental health“. Against the billions” invested to address physical health in the pandemic. over there Psychological health was the subject of interest and Almost non-existent investment, which is very similar to the charity given to say that he did something more than public intervention. This reasoning is not supported by science or economics. The first is well-documented, the powerful impact of psychological problems on health (including physical), work, and all dimensions of life. Economic studies have shown the costs of psychological problems to those who have it and to society as a whole. In terms of the resulting deficit, it is the number one cost component in health, and it is also the number one cause of absenteeism. According to the London School of Economics, every euro spent on mental health results in 2.5 euros with lower costsLazzari continues: “There are scientific or economic reasons for continuing to neglect a problem that has become so social and exists for all to see. Not wanting to see her now, as many have said, disrespect for citizens. It lends for its part the idea that for democratic institutions, even today, psychological suffering is considered weakness, whim, or shame. Citizens rightly demand immediate answers, in terms of rewards and psychological help at school, and then demand that the state organize itself structurally to ensure a public psychological network. Continuing to turn away, ignoring this widespread awareness of millions of people, appears in stark contrast to the idea of ​​a society in transition focused on new visions and resilience. Let’s make sure the following approved actions give clear answers.”

Politics – “I accept the wake-up call from the Psychologists Guild about the mental health emergency we are going through. In Nothing I will try to help make it a priority in future actions,” the Democratic MP commented on Twitter Filippo Sensi. of the same idea Nicolas Fratoiani, National Secretary of the Italian Left: “Since the psychological distress – the persistence of the defense of the Left Opposition – certainly cannot be answered with taps or bed nets, the rewards of which remain, perhaps it is time for the majority to respond to this lack of he – she. In the next few days – concludes Fratoiani – Parliament will find a solution because there are possible ways, you only need to want it.”
