Data aġġornata: 6 ta’ Awwissu 2025 Il-podcast ta’ Delia u Borg: Is-Saħħa Mentali u l-Politika Gist: Qed tħossok stressjat jew ansjuż minħabba l-ħajja tal-lum? F’podcast reċenti, l-eks Kap tal-Partit Nazzjonalista Dr Adrian Delia u l-avukat Dr Alex Borg iddiskutew l-impatt tal-politika u l-ambjent soċjali fuq is-saħħa mentali tan-nies. Delia u Borg tkellmu b’mod onest dwar l-esperjenzi tagħhom stess u enfasizzaw l-importanza li l-politiċi jkunu viċin in-nies biex jifhmu l-problemi veri tagħhom, inklużi l-ġlidiet bil-burdata u l-ansjetà. Huma qalu li s-sistema politika tista’ tikkawża tensjoni u li hemm bżonn ta’ aktar appoġġ għal dawk li qed ibatu bil-kwistjonijiet tas-saħħa mentali.

Kuntest: Il-Bżonn li nitkellmu fuq is-Saħħa Mentali Is-saħħa mentali f’Malta ilha snin tissielet biex tiġi aċċettata u indirizzata b’mod miftuħ. Għal żmien twil, kien hemm stigma qawwija marbuta ma’ min ifittex l-għajnuna għal kundizzjonijiet bħad-depressjoni u l-ansjetà. Il-gvern u diversi organizzazzjonijiet bdew kampanji biex jinkoraġġixxu n-nies jitkellmu, iżda l-isfida tibqa’ l-istigmatizzazzjoni u n-nuqqas ta’ riżorsi adegwati, speċjalment fl-oqsma tas-saħħa pubblika. Il-politiċi, tradizzjonalment, rarament kienu jitkellmu dwar dawn il-kwistjonijiet b’mod personali, u għalhekk il-podcast ta’ Delia u Borg joffri perspettiva ġdida u umana fuq suġġett delikat. Impatt fuq Malta: Il-Politika li Tmiss il-Qalb Meta politiċi bħal Dr Delia u Dr Borg jitkellmu dwar l-isfidi personali tagħhom, dan jista’ jkollu effett profond fuq il-popolazzjoni. Ħafna Maltin, speċjalment dawk b’inqas edukazzjoni jew bi dħul baxx, jistgħu jħossuhom iżolati mill-proċess politiku. Il-fatt li żewġ persuni ta’ profil għoli qed jaqsmu s-sensittivitajiet tagħhom jista’ jnaqqas il-ħajt bejn il-politiċi u ċ-ċittadini, u juri li l-problemi tas-saħħa mentali jaffettwaw lil kulħadd, irrispettivament mill-pożizzjoni soċjali. Dan jista’ jinkoraġġixxi aktar nies ifittxu l-għajnuna u juri li l-emozzjonijiet huma parti normali mill-ħajja, anke għal dawk li jidhru b’saħħithom u siguri. Dan il-podcast jista’ jservi bħala pont biex il-politiċi jkunu aktar aċċessibbli u jifhmu l-bżonnijiet reali tal-komunità. X’Jista’ Jagħmel wieħed f’każ bħal dan Jekk qed tħossok mgħobbi, l-ewwel pass hu li titkellem ma’ xi ħadd li tafda, bħal ħabib, membru tal-familja, jew tabib. Li titkellem jista’ jkun bħal meta tiftaħ it-tieqa f’kamra mdeffsa – idaħħal ftit arja friska. Tista’ wkoll tfittex l-għajnuna professjonali. Hemm diversi servizzi b’xejn disponibbli f’Malta. Pereżempju, il-linja ta’ għajnuna 179 toffri appoġġ emozzjonali u informazzjoni dwar servizzi oħra, u tista’ ċċempel bla ħlas. Verifika tal-Fatti * Fatti Verifikati: Delia u Borg iddiskutew is-saħħa mentali u l-politika f’podcast li nġibed u xxandar. Dan jista’ jiġi vverifikat billi wieħed jara l-podcast stess. * Opinjonijiet: Id-dikjarazzjoni li l-politiċi għandhom ikunu aktar viċin in-nies hija opinjoni. Dan jirrifletti l-perspettiva tagħhom dwar x’inhu meħtieġ biex itejbu l-politika. * Dikjarazzjonijiet Mhux Fatti: Li l-politika dejjem tikkawża tensjoni hija dikjarazzjoni mhux fatt. Filwaqt li tista’ tkun vera għal ħafna, mhix vera għal kulħadd u ma tistax tiġi ppruvata xjentifikament. Għal min irid ikun jaf aktar... * Mistoqsija: Għaliex hu importanti li l-politiċi jkunu viċin in-nies? * Tweġiba: Aħseb fiha hekk: jekk il-kaptan tal-vapur ma jkunx jaf jgħum, kif se jifhem l-biża’ tal-passiġġieri meta jkun hemm tempesta? Bl-istess mod, jekk il-politiċi ma jkunux jafu x’inhi l-ħajja ta’ kuljum tan-nies, ma jistgħux jifhmu l-problemi veri tagħhom. Meta jkunu eqreb, jistgħu jfasslu soluzzjonijiet li verament jgħinu, mhux biss soluzzjonijiet li jidhru tajbin fuq il-karta. Sorsi * Times of Malta: Dan l-artiklu jitkellem dwar iż-żieda fil-problemi tas-saħħa mentali f’Malta u l-isfidi li jiffaċċjaw is-servizzi tas-saħħa. * Fondazzjoni Richmond: Il-Fondazzjoni Richmond hija NGO li toffri diversi servizzi ta’ appoġġ għas-saħħa mentali, u t-tagħrif tagħha huwa rilevanti biex wieħed ikun jaf x’għajnuna tista’ ssib f’Malta. * Aġenzija Nazzjonali għall-Iżvilupp Soċjali (ANDS): Is-sit tal-ANDS jipprovdi informazzjoni dwar inizjattivi u servizzi tal-gvern relatati mas-saħħa mentali u l-benesseri soċjali, li jgħinna nifhmu aħjar ir-rispons tal-istat għal dawn il-kwistjonijiet.

In a recent podcast, former Nationalist Party leader Dr. Adrian Delia and lawyer Dr. Alex Borg discussed the impact of politics and the social environment on people's mental health. Delia and Borg spoke honestly about their own experiences and emphasized the importance for politicians to be closer to the people to understand their real problems, including struggles with mood and anxiety. They stated that the political system can cause tension and that there is a need for more support for those suffering from mental health issues.

Context: The Need to Talk About Mental Health Mental health in Malta has struggled for years to be openly accepted and addressed. For a long time, there was a strong stigma attached to seeking help for conditions like depression and anxiety. The government and various organizations have launched campaigns to encourage people to talk, but the challenge remains stigma and the lack of adequate resources, especially in public health. Politicians have traditionally rarely spoken about these issues personally, which is why the Delia and Borg podcast offers a new and human perspective on a delicate subject. Impact on Malta: The Politics That Touches the Heart When politicians like Dr. Delia and Dr. Borg talk about their personal challenges, it can have a profound effect on the population. Many Maltese people, especially those with less education or lower incomes, can feel isolated from the political process. The fact that two high-profile individuals are sharing their sensitivities can break down the wall between politicians and citizens, showing that mental health problems affect everyone, regardless of social status. This can encourage more people to seek help and show that emotions are a normal part of life, even for those who seem strong and secure. This podcast can serve as a bridge to make politicians more accessible and to understand the real needs of the community. What You Can Do If you're feeling overwhelmed, the first step is to talk to someone you trust, like a friend, family member, or doctor. Talking can be like opening a window in a stuffy room—it lets in a little fresh air. You can also seek professional help. There are several free services available in Malta. For example, the 179 helpline offers emotional support and information about other services, and you can call for free. Fact Check * Verified Facts: Delia and Borg discussed mental health and politics in a recorded and broadcast podcast. This can be verified by watching the podcast itself. * Opinions: The statement that politicians should be closer to the people is an opinion. This reflects their perspective on what is needed to improve politics. * Non-Factual Statements: That politics always causes tension is a non-factual statement. While it may be true for many, it is not true for everyone and cannot be scientifically proven. For those who want to know more... * Question: Why is it important for politicians to be close to the people? * Answer: Think of it this way: if the captain of a ship doesn't know how to swim, how will he understand the fear of the passengers during a storm? In the same way, if politicians don't know what the daily life of the people is like, they cannot understand their real problems. When they are closer, they can design solutions that truly help, not just solutions that look good on paper.
