From Goethe Institut:
Mental Health in Vietnam; with limited numbers of mental health professionals and access to up to date education, many individuals with mental health issues in Vietnam are not able to access proper care. With collaboration between science and the arts, we can connect and guide the community here in Vietnam about mental health issues. Through performances, art and workshops, bringing the idea of interplay between reality and imagination, explore the inner world of the modern masses. Important information and guidance about this serious issue can be made available.
1. Generalised Anxiety Disorder (G.A.D.) is a persistent and excessive anxiety and worry about various domains, that the individual finds difficult to control. In addition, the individual experiences physical symptoms, including restlessness or feeling on edge, being easily fatigued, difficulty concentrating or mind going blank, irritability, muscle-tension and sleep disturbance.
2. Depression is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects on individual’s feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. It includes a depressed mood or the loss of interest or pleasure in nearly all activities. It can also include changes in weight, sleep and activity levels, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, difficulty thinking, concentrating or making decisions or recurrent thoughts of death.
