He has warned citizens to be cautious when selecting leaders, noting that six to nine out of every 100 people may experience mental health disorders\u2014a condition that can affect politicians and local officials\u2014and stressed the importance of scrutinising candidates' track records to avoid choosing \"toxic\" leaders.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com \u2014 As an obstetrician and gynaecologist\nspecialist, Yogyakarta Mayor Hasto Wardoyo employs a rather unique\napproach in empowering the community.<\/p>\n<p>Much like diagnosing a disease in the human body, he has developed\nthe habit of first reading the symptoms that emerge within society.<\/p>\n<p>From there, he attempts to trace the root of the problem before\ndetermining the appropriate course of action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn medicine, we are taught diagnosis, diagnosis, diagnosis\nrepeatedly before therapy. We continue with therapy only after we have\nthoroughly ascertained the underlying cause,\u201d said Hasto during Gaspol\nGoes to Campus at FISIP Atma Jaya Yogyakarta, which aired on Kompas.com\nYouTube on Thursday (12\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSociety should operate the same way. Sometimes decisions are made\nwhen society doesn\u2019t actually need them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He further noted that out of every 100 people, approximately six to\nnine experience mental health disorders or mental disorders. Such\nconditions, according to him, can affect anyone, including local\ngovernment heads and politicians.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, he emphasised that it is important for society to be\nalert so as not to become trapped selecting leaders with toxic\ntendencies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause their thinking is often strange. So when choosing a person,\nwe should look at their track record. Don\u2019t forget that every population\nhas toxic people in it\u2014if possible, don\u2019t slip up and choose someone\ntoxic,\u201d said Hasto.<\/p>",
