SDGs Center News - The term mental health is now familiar to the public. Often the mass media raises issues regarding mental health and how to deal with it. However, what is meant by mental health?

To further increase public understanding regarding mental health, the Ministry of Student Advocacy and Welfare, Student Executive Board, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (BEM FISIP) Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) held a webinar entitled "Mental Health 101: Mental Dialogue and Awareness in the Campus Environment". The webinar was held in collaboration with BEM FISIP and UNAIR Help Center and presented Dr. Ike Herdiana, M.Psi., Psychologist as speaker.

“Mental health actually refers to cognitive, behavioral and emotional well-being. "If one is disturbed, it will definitely disturb all of them and have an impact on everything," said Ike.


Ike gave an example, even though a person's cognitive and behavioral aspects seem fine, when emotions are negative, it will affect a person's cognition and behavior.

Ike explained that there are several factors that can interfere with mental health. Some of them are social, economic, educational, age and biological factors such as genetics. "We cannot predict at what age this biological factor will appear," he added.


Ike also explained that mental health is influenced by events in life which leave a big impact on a person's personality and behavior. So, every event a person experiences will more or less have an impact on their behavior and personality traits.

The UNAIR Help Center member also expressed the importance of consulting with professionals regarding mental health problems. “It's okay to read on the internet to recognize the symptoms. "If you have symptoms, you must immediately see a professional because this mental problem is not easy for yourself to understand," he stressed.


Ike revealed that by consulting a professional you will get a diagnosis. This diagnosis can be done with several examinations such as medical examinations, laboratories if necessary, or psychological tests either by interviews or tests using other self-report instruments.


“Those who have the right to carry out diagnoses are professionals. Don't let yourself determine mental health problems, such as feeling like you have bipolar disorder from your own diagnosis. "In essence, the sooner you recognize the symptoms and then get professional help for diagnosis, the more treatment you will get according to the diagnosis," concluded Ike at the end of the webinar session.
