STUDENT’S HAVING

ANXIETY
&
DEPRESSION
ABSTRACT

Students in Philippines face severe depression and anxiety because of their difficult
circumstances such as the financial condition, level of closeness with parents, and
level of closeness with peers. Sex, age category, course category, year level and
religion were not significantly related. In identifying students with greater risk for
depression, characteristics related to lifestyle, financial condition, parents and peers
are crucial. There is a need to carry out more surveys to develop the pool of local
knowledge on student depression.
INTRODUCTION
Anxiety disorder are a group of mental disorders characterized by significant feelings of anxiety
and fear. Anxiety is a worry about future events, the disorder differs by what results in the
symptoms. People often have more one anxiety disorder. There are number of anxiety disorders
that affect the students in their academics and performance in school. Anxiety an interfere with
your social life . Anxiety disorder are different, though. There are group of mental illnesses, and
the distress they cause can keep you from carrying on with your life. Anxiety can also negatively
affect physical health. There are five major types of anxiety, Separation Anxiety Disorder,
Selective Mutism, Social Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder( increase in adolecence), Agoraphobia
(peaks in late adolescence), Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Anxiety presents in a variety of
contexts within the classroom setting, but is often “SILENT”. Many anxious children struggle
internally without actually seeking help from the classroom teacher . They might appear to be
“QUITE” or “DISENGAGED”, but really their brains are consumed with worry.

hospital anxiety and depression scale
Anthony S Zigmond, R Philip Snaith
A self‐assessment scale has been developed and found to be a reliable instrument for detecting states of depression and
anxiety in the setting of an hospital medical outpatient clinic. The anxiety and depressive subscales are also valid measures
of severity of the emotional disorder. It is suggested that the introduction of the scales into general hospital practice would
facilitate the large task of detection and management of emotional disorder in patients under investigation and treatment in
medical and surgical departments.

The hospital anxiety and depression scale

R Philip Snaith

There is a need to assess the contribution of mood disorder, especially anxiety and depression, in order to understand the
experience of suffering in the setting of medical practice. Most physicians are aware of this aspect of the illness of their
patients but many feel incompetent to provide the patient with reliable information. The Hospital Anxiety And Depression
Scale, or HADS, was designed to provide a simple yet reliable tool for use in medical practice. The term 'hospital' in its title
suggests that it is only valid in such a setting but many studies conducted throughout the world have confirmed that it is
valid when used in community settings and primary care medical practice. It should be emphasised that self-assessment
scales are only valid for screening purposes; definitive diagnosis must rest on the process of clinical examination

Beck's cognitive theory (CT) of anxiety and depression is briefly described. It is proposed
that each psychopathological state has a specific cognitive profile. In anxiety states, this
profile involves the theme of perceived physical or psychological threat to one's personal
domain, while in depression the ideational content emphasizes loss or deprivation. Moreover,
CT postulates differentiation between affective states based on the specific cognitive content
evident with each disorder. The empirical literature bearing on the cognitive profile and
content-specificity hypotheses is reviewed, and recommendations for further research are
discussed.

 RESULTS
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that
 
154 million people suffer from depression
877,000 people die by suicide every year
2011 WHO Global School-Based Health Survey has shown that in the Philippines, 16% of students between
13-15 years old have ever seriously considered attempting suicide while 13% have actually attempted
suicide one or more times during the past year.
A study conducted among government employees in Metro Manila revealed that 32% out of 327 respondents
have experienced a mental health problem in their lifetime (DOH 2006).

 
These factors were: frequency of smoking, frequency of drinking,
not living with biological parents, dissatisfaction with one's
financial condition, level of closeness with parents, and level of
closeness with peers. Sex, age category, course category, year
level and religion were not significantly related. In identifying
students with greater risk for depression, characteristics related to
lifestyle, financial condition, parents and peers are crucial. There
is a need to carry out more surveys to develop the pool of local
knowledge on student depression.
DISCUSSION & CONCLUSION
In the Philippines, one in five people suffers
from a mental health problem. In a country
with a population of 100 million, there are
presently only 700 psychiatrists and a
thousand psychiatric nurses.
 The statistics are worrisome. But more
alarming is the fact that a national mental
health law has yet to be enacted despite
the urgings of various advocates.
