00:00Oh, okay!
00:02Oh, okay!
00:04Oh, okay!
00:06Pee-pee!
00:08Carbon!
00:10It's not easy to take care of those with mental illness.
00:12I'm tired!
00:14How many centimeters?
00:16One kilo!
00:18One kilo!
00:20That's why you'll ask, what can our countrymen do
00:29who are experiencing this?
00:31Where can they go
00:33and who can help them?
00:40Not far from Nanay Sita's house,
00:43you'll find the Talay Mental Rehabilitation Center.
00:51A facility for those with mental illness.
01:00Your patients here are not only from Dumaguete?
01:03Not only from Dumaguete.
01:05There are also patients from nearby LGUs,
01:07from Siquijor, or from Mindanao.
01:10Wow!
01:11Or sometimes from Cebu,
01:13because the mental health facility is far from the city,
01:16so they come here for check-up.
01:19Facilities like this are not that common in the country, right?
01:32What are the cases where it is recommended that they stay here?
01:37They can be admitted if the patient is violent
01:40or if they manifest other behaviors like delusions or hallucinations.
01:45So they should be admitted for rehabilitation and monitoring.
01:52Alan and Manuel were admitted here once,
01:56but they haven't been back for a long time.
02:00This is the record of the two siblings, Ma'am.
02:07What happened?
02:16Okay.
02:18In the records of the Talay Hospital,
02:21Alan was the first to be admitted for his mental illness,
02:25and six years later, Manuel was the next to be admitted.
02:30They came back for OPD consultation.
02:33So they really have treatment for injection and oral meds.
02:41Schizophrenia.
02:43Schizophrenia is the illness of the siblings.
02:47It is a serious feeling in the mind that affects the perception of reality.
02:54They have violent tendencies,
02:57talking alone,
02:59like hallucinations,
03:01and they can't sleep,
03:04and they are disoriented.
03:07So they can hear or see.
03:11It has been more than five years since the last visit of the siblings.
03:16Schizophrenia doesn't heal within a month or a year.
03:21It's a lifetime.
03:23So you should be supplied with medication, oral or injection.
03:29Why don't they take care of themselves here?
03:31I don't want to come back here.
03:34Mama Sita has a bad experience from a former employee of the center.
03:41When I was sick, I was in the hospital.
03:44I was in a coma for a week.
03:46I didn't know what to do.
03:48I was in a coma for a week.
03:50I was in a coma for a week.
03:52I was in a coma for a week.
03:55I was in a coma for a week.
03:59I was in a coma for a week.
04:02Can they take care of themselves here if they come back?
04:07This facility is open to all,
04:09provided that we have a significant other to take care of them.
04:14If their next of kin or their significant other is sick,
04:19and they can't stay here for 24 hours,
04:22it will be difficult for the patient to stay here.
04:25They can talk to their LGU to help take care of the patient.
04:31The number one priority is to take care of the patient.
