Seven reasons for unrest from a psychiatrist’s point of view
From the point of view of psychiatry, the assessment should be carried out in such a way that the Iranian nation has been under the influence of major pressures and tensions in the last few years, especially in the last year, which has gradually gone beyond the threshold of tolerance. including:
1. Drought and successive warnings to the people about this (while ordinary people cannot do anything about this and it is the duty of the authorities to plan, prevent and take action in this regard).
2⃣ Air pollution and successive warnings to the people, while the people can do almost nothing in the meantime, and the planning and prevention of air pollution is the responsibility of the officials. For example, the government declares that 65% of air pollution in Tehran is caused by government buses and dilapidated trucks, and the other major part is the responsibility of motorcycles, each of which produces 10 times more pollution than a car, but on the other hand, instead of every Decisive action bans private rides with all kinds of plans and causes people’s dissatisfaction.
3. Attacks and strange revelations by state officials against each other and accusing others of mismanagement, financial corruption, and betrayal of the country naturally destroy people’s trust in officials and cause a loss of social capital.
4⃣ The existence of widespread corruption and astronomical embezzlement is another factor in increasing social tensions and mistrust of officials, and especially the disclosure of financial crimes by state officials or rent-seeking by the children of officials, which is discussed in the media every day, angers the public.
5. According to government statistics, the high unemployment rate and the financial problems of the general public, including wage earners and artisans, farmers and factory owners, is another issue that has not been properly managed and resolved in the last few years.
6. The contradictory statements of officials about a single issue cause people not to trust any of them and doubt the competence of these managers.
7⃣ The danger of earthquakes which is regularly warned to the people, while the people do not have the ability to prevent and manage this incident, but the responsible organizations should gain the trust of the people by increasing their preparedness and showing their capabilities in crises.
It is obvious that various currents, including the dominant powers, are trying to ride this wave and exploit it for their own benefit. There is no doubt that the domineering powers have played a role in preparing the ground for tensions, including creating economic problems, spreading the feeling of shame through self-affiliated media, and creating various conflicts for Iran that have continued over the years. ,
In any case, a set of the mentioned conditions created such a situation, which is naturally the reason for the dissatisfaction of every Iranian. But the solution is to use “rationality” instead of “excitement” against these problems, and its context is to establish peace, so that the conditions can be evaluated and defined and improved with logical plans.
