7個小學生1個抑鬱 機構倡家長多陪伴聆聽
學童精神健康問題，近年引起各界關注。浸信會愛羣社會服務處一項調查發現，13.2%受訪小學生受抑鬱情緒困擾，即每7個小學生就有1個出現抑鬱徵狀，當中近一成受訪學生更呈嚴重抑鬱徵狀，須接受輔導及治療。另外，逾20%受訪學生經常感到壓力，三大壓力來源皆與學業有關。
浸信會愛羣社會服務處在今年1月至3月以問卷訪問1301名小三至小六學生，以「兒童焦慮和抑鬱量表修訂版」、「華人家庭評估工具」等量表，了解學生的情緒健康情況。
調查發現，整體受訪學生的總抑鬱平均值屬於「沒有/輕微程度」，不過，13.2%受訪學生受抑鬱情緒困擾，當中9.7%受訪學生呈嚴重抑鬱徵狀，如以本學年約35萬名小學生推算，全港有逾3.3萬小學生的抑鬱傾向達臨床水平，需接受專業輔導及治療。在眾多抑鬱徵狀中，最多學生表示經常感疲倦，其次是覺得自己沒有用。
另外，約22%學生稱經常感到壓力，較去年增加5.5個百分點，創3年新高。令學生感到壓力的三大原因皆與學業有關，依次是功課太多、升中選擇及適應、學業成績未如理想。
浸信會愛羣社會服務處兒童及青少年身心健康服務隊長鄧曼恒指，過往接觸的個案中，最年輕確診抑鬱的個案約10歲，而出現抑鬱徵狀的個案最年輕的則是6、7歲。鄧指有個案兒童經常凝望窗口，說出「唔知跌落去會點呢？」，該中心另有個案是小童在畫作中寫道「好想死」或暴力畫面。
臨床心理學家李明琳指，面對壓力及接納情緒能力較弱的小孩，會盲目相信內心的想法就是事實，易鑽牛角尖，同時無法接納情緒所帶來的不快，會竭力迴避這些不快經驗，形成惡性循環，嚴重的可致抑鬱甚至是自殺的念頭。
調查機構指出，小孩的「心病」是有迹可尋，家長宜多抽空陪伴子女，放下手機、不談學業，營造優質的親子時間，聆聽他們的感受。機構同時指出，調查結果反映學業壓力問題並非個別學童遇到的問題，而且情況持續上升，期望兒童事務委員會可跟進有關情況。
