TASIKMALAYA, Thecuy.com– The Tasikmalaya City Health Department reports that around 1,100 residents suffer from mental disorders or are classified as People with Mental Disorders (ODGJ). The figure is spread across 10 sub-districts, ranging from urban to remote areas.
Socioeconomic factors are among the issues that underlie the emergence of mental disorders. In addition, family problems, financial conditions, and issues faced during adolescence also become factors that need attention.
The Secretary of the Tasikmalaya City Health Department, Suryaningsih, said that handling ODGJ is not only through medical treatment but also requires continuous counseling so that the patient’s condition remains monitored.

“Overall, the number of ODGJ sufferers in Tasikmalaya City is quite large. According to the data we have, there are around 1,100 people,” said Suryaningsih during a Social Service for ODGJ at Yayasan Mentari Hati, Wednesday (21/10/2026).
According to her, mental disorders can be experienced by various age groups, from teenagers aged 15 years to the elderly. The problems faced by each age group also vary.
“If it’s the teenage age, usually there are problems related to desire for certain items or other issues. Meanwhile, at the age of already having a family, social, household, and financial problems can also be triggers,” she explained.
As an effort to improve health services for ODGJ, the Tasikmalaya City Health Department together with Seven Barber carried out a health service intervention for ODGJ residents at Mentari Hati.
In the activity, a team from Tamansari Health Center conducted examinations and gave attention to the health conditions of the residents.
Suryaningsih explained that the service is not only focused on mental conditions but also targets common diseases that may be experienced by the residents of Mentari Hati.
“The focus is usually on common diseases experienced by ODGJ residents, such as skin diseases, coughs, and flu present at Mentari Hati,” she said.

According to him, comprehensive health examinations are important to be carried out so that physical complaints experienced by patients can be known and treated as early as possible.
The Tasikmalaya City Health Department also provides treatment through health facilities and assistance at the health center level. One of the efforts made is through the Sahabat Jiwa program, which involves officers to monitor patients’ conditions regularly.
