Amidst changes in social conditions in terms of economy, politics, technology, and the direct impact of the epidemic situation over the past 2-3 years, many Thais have a worsening mental state. Data from the Department of Mental Health estimates that Thailand's successful suicide rate in 2021, from the original database of 7.37 per 100,000 population, may in fact be as high as 10.08 per 100,000 population, which is a figure higher than the world average and much higher than the department's target.
To survive the various crises, especially among the working-age group who have to shoulder expectations from work, finances, dreams, and family, they have to squeeze their potential and use all their energy, with almost no chance to turn back and take care of themselves, which has been called the 'era of burnout', causing Thai people to have high stress and be at risk of depression.
In addition, with the number of patients increasing every year, the number of psychiatrists is insufficient. As of July 2022, statistics from the Department of Mental Health indicate that there are 845 psychiatrists, which is a ratio of 1.28 people per 100,000 population. This clearly shows that Thailand is seriously lacking in medical personnel.
For this reason, Eyedropper Fill Co., Ltd., together with MMAD MunMun Art Destination, sees the importance of promoting public awareness and prevention of mental health problems, which is another important way to help improve the mental health problems of Thais.
