Why are people still afraid of going to a psychiatrist?

Many people tolerate fatigue alone.

But instead, reluctant to see a psychiatrist.

Most of the reason is

Fear is seen as "a troubled man."

Afraid others think we are weak

Or think you're not heavy enough to see a doctor.

Some people are afraid of taking medicine forever.

Or afraid that the people around you will not understand

But actually,

Going to a psychiatrist is like going to a doctor when you're sick.

Health itself also needs care.

And getting help is taking care of yourself.

✨ Admitting that we are tired does not mean that we lose, but that we want to take better care of ourselves. 🥰

... Read moreแค่พูดถึงการไปหาจิตแพทย์ หลายคนก็รู้สึกกลัวหรือรู้สึกผิดแล้ว ซึ่งเป็นเรื่องปกติที่เกิดขึ้นกับหลายคนโดยเฉพาะในสังคมไทยที่ความเข้าใจเรื่องสุขภาพจิตยังมีข้อจำกัด จากประสบการณ์ของผมเอง การตัดสินใจไปพบจิตแพทย์ไม่ได้หมายความว่าเราอ่อนแอ แต่กลับเป็นสัญญาณของการดูแลตัวเองอย่างจริงจังเหมือนกับเวลาที่เราเจ็บป่วยร่างกาย คนที่ลังเลส่วนใหญ่มักจะมีความคิดว่า "ถ้าไปพบจิตแพทย์แปลว่าฉันต้องเป็นคนมีปัญหา" หรือกลัวว่าจะต้องกินยาตลอดไป ซึ่งจริงๆ แล้วการรักษาจิตใจนั้นมีหลายรูปแบบ ไม่ใช่แค่การใช้ยาเท่านั้น แต่รวมถึงการพูดคุย การปรับเปลี่ยนความคิด และการเรียนรู้วิธีจัดการกับความเครียด ในส่วนของกลัวคนรอบข้างจะไม่เข้าใจ ก็เป็นเรื่องที่พบได้บ่อยถ้าสังคมยังไม่ได้เปิดใจรับรู้และสนับสนุนเรื่องสุขภาพจิต การมีความรู้เพิ่มขึ้นและพูดคุยแลกเปลี่ยนในกลุ่มเพื่อนหรือคนใกล้ตัวสามารถช่วยลดความอึดอัดและเปลี่ยนมุมมองได้ดี สุดท้ายนี้ การขอความช่วยเหลือจากจิตแพทย์เป็นการแสดงออกถึงความรักและความห่วงใยต่อตัวเองอย่างแท้จริง ไม่ใช่ความอ่อนแอ หรือความผิดพลาดแต่อย่างใด ดังนั้นใครที่กำลังลังเลหรือกลัวอยู่นั้น ควรเปลี่ยนความคิดและเปิดใจให้โอกาสสุขภาพใจของเราได้รับการดูแลอย่างถูกต้องและเหมาะสม การยอมรับว่าเหนื่อย เป็นเพียงการเริ่มต้นก้าวสำคัญสู่การพัฒนาตนเองและมีชีวิตที่ดีขึ้น

This image defines an otrovert as someone whose social energy depends on the quality of people, thriving in "safe spaces" with individuals they connect with, rather than being alone or in large groups.
This image explains that "otrovert" is a new personality label coined by Dr. Rami Kaminski, meaning "other-turn." Unlike introverts or extroverts, otroverts gain energy from their own thoughts and do not seek group validation.
This image lists signs of an otrovert, including being drained by the wrong people but energized by deep conversations with close friends. Otroverts prefer hanging out with their inner circle and don't need to be the center of attention.
