Konseling Siti Khalimah menjelaskan terjadinya peningkatan kasus kesehatan jiwa di masa pandemi tersebut
akibat terbatasnya akses dan permasalahan sosial yang dialami masyarakat sehingga mereka mengalami
depresi. Selain itu, juga terjadi peningkatan kasus pemasungan terhadap pasien yang mengalami kesehatan
jiwa. Direktur RSJ Sambang Lihum I Gede Dharma Putra, Senin (12/10), mengatakan pihaknya telah
mengumpulkan pihak Puskesmas dalam melakukan pencegahan risiko kesehatan jiwa khususnya bagi warga
terdampak covid-19. "Kita perlu melakukan upaya preventif agar dampak wabah bagi kesehatan jiwa
masyarakat dapat ditekan," ujarnya. Dalam upaya membantu masyarakat mendapatkan konsultasi kesehatan
jiwa, Kemenkes RI meluncurkan aplikasi Sehat Jiwa. Aplikasi itu bisa dimanfaatkan masyarakat yang
mengalami tekanan mental dan tidak mampu mengatasi stres atau depresi dengan mengonsultasikan
permasalahan mereka. "Launching menu baru dalam aplikasi sehat jiwa Kemenkes RI ini bertepatan momen
Hari Kesehatan Jiwa Sedunia 2020," kata Staf Ahli Menkes Bidang Hukum Kesehatan Kuat Sri Hudoyo.
Aplikasi Sehat Jiwa kini punya menu baru yaitu bimbingan dan konseling kesehatan jiwa dengan para psikiater
dan psikolog. Dampak dari pandemi covid-19, masyarakat bukan saja terdampak secara ekonomi tapi juga
mengalami stres dan tekanan mental akibat PHK dan pembatasan sosial. Dampak ekonomi itu berimbas pada
kesehatan jiwa masyarakat. Ketua Asosiasi RSJ dan Ketergantungan Obat Indonesia Bambang Eko
mengatakan perlunya peningkatan layanan kesehatan jiwa di masa mendatang. "Melalui momen Hari
Kesehatan Jiwa Sedunia 2020, kita ingin akses lebih besar kepada masyarakat untuk pelayanan kesehatan
jiwa," ujar Bambang Eko.
