Dr. Do Manh Cuong - Vice President of the Hong Nho Bong Fund, Chairman of the Board of Gia Dinh University said: "Mental health, especially mental health, is an important and essential field for students. Many young people still lack life experience, skills to control emotions as well as solve problems. This makes them confused when facing challenges in both studying and life. I hope that, through this workshop, each student will have the most correct and accurate view of the orientation, to improve themselves comprehensively.
In Vietnam, according to statistics from the Ministry of Health, up to 14.9% of the population has psychological diseases, equivalent to about 15 million people. The most common disorders are depression and anxiety. These figures show that mental health is no longer a rare problem, but has become a major challenge in the health sector. That requires serious attention and urgent action from the community.
In order to meet the need for psychological support, Gia Dinh University (GDU) has opened an additional psychology major with a training program closely following reality, catching up with the development trend of society.
