Mental Health in Santiago
One of the most prevalent mental health conditions in Santiago is depression. It has become an issue that is mainly due to stress, work, family issues, and even poverty. Research shows that there are many factors that lead to depression including environmental exposure, genes, lifestyle behaviors, or external stressors like brain injuries. Depression usually starts in early adulthood which is why it has become such a problem for the country. Mental health-related disorder rates are rising in Santiago because of these factors including pollution and population growth.
Approximately 20 percent of children and adolescents living in Santiago suffer from mental problems like anxiety and depression. Many of them do not seek help for the fear of being made fun of or outcasted by their peers. This makes it difficult for therapists to diagnose children with disorders because most continue to show symptoms with no assistance, but some children who are diagnosed manage to receive adequate treatment. However, childhood experiences like abuse can lead to mental health conditions later on in life according to research.
One reason Chile has so many people struggling with depression is due to the high suicide rates reported annually. Chileans have had more than double the number of suicides per capita compared to other Latin American countries. Men are found three times more likely to commit suicide than women makes it a more common occurrence for male teenagers and young adults struggling with depression. Men also attempt suicide twice as much as women in Chile, but women tend to try it more often. Much of this is attributed to the stress that comes from work and common family problems such as financial issues or divorce.
