UNAIR NEWS – Depression is a disease that cannot be treated. If individuals experience depression, the environment must be able to respond to the problem. Faculty of Law, Universitas Airlangga (FH UNAIR) held motivational talk to overcome and anticipate stress and depression in college on Monday, April 22, 2019 in Pancasila Hall, Faculty of Law, Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR).

Dr. Siti Hafsyah as lecturer of Faculty of Law, Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Malaysia invited students to express their problems when they are depressed. Students should not remain silent and affected by sadness and problems.

“If students are depressed, share your problem to trusted people, especially parents or in this case your mothers. At Faculty of Law the level of depression is very high, we must share when we are depressed, ” she explained.

In pursuing a dream, there must be high expectations. On that occasion, Dr. Siti revealed, students today tend to be depressed in pursuit of their parents’ expectations who are too high. So students will experience prolonged stress.

“As a child, we must appreciate parents to ensure student resilience in facing life. Parents become the main protector in any case. We can tell parents about the problems we are going to face, it is very helpful and parents will know what to do, ” she added.

For students, stress during studies to get best grades is common. It triggers depression to students.

So, in this activity Dr Siti played some videos to motivate students to escape from possibility of stress and depression. (*)
