        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2014 Clinical psychologist Miki Amrilya Wardati,\nS.Psi., M.Psi., said that every age group, from childhood and\nadolescence through early and late adulthood to old age, has\ndevelopmental tasks that may trigger psychological problems,\nparticularly mental health issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile carrying out these psychological developmental tasks, people\nencounter challenges or obstacles that may eventually lead to\npsychological problems,\u201d said Miki, a psychologist partner at Halodoc,\nat a media briefing in Jakarta on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Miki said mental health problems such as anxiety disorders involve\nexcessive fears that can be described as irrational. These fears may\nconcern something that has not yet happened, or a situation that has\noccurred but is not as serious as the person imagines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis can lead to symptoms associated with depression, for example,\nlosing someone significant or having problems with someone significant.\nThese are often sources of depression,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Miki, people can feel worried even when the problem\ncausing their anxiety has not yet occurred. This is connected to the\nvarious demands associated with psychological development at each stage\nof life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen people face the developmental tasks associated with each age\nand interpret them as threatening or difficult, irrational thoughts can\narise. These may eventually develop into an anxiety disorder,\u201d Miki\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>The World Health Organization (WHO) has previously estimated that\nmental health disorders affect between one in eight and one in ten\npeople globally.<\/p>\n<p>About 4.4 per cent, or around 338,000 children, show symptoms of\nanxiety disorders, while 4.8 per cent, or around 363,000 children, show\nsymptoms of depressive disorders.<\/p>",
