00:00 For the road rage incidents, we will talk to Dr. Bernadette Arcena, a psychiatrist.
00:07 Good evening Dr. Arcena, this is Dominic Almelore of PTV Ulatbayan Weekend.
00:12 Hi Dominic, good afternoon.
00:16 Yes Doc, what are the reasons why road rage is happening,
00:21 where it sometimes leads to illness and death for those who are involved in this, Doc?
00:27 Actually, road rage is already there even before.
00:32 They have a problem in controlling their anger and they are very impulsive.
00:40 These are the reasons why they cannot control themselves when they are on the road.
00:51 Doc, what are the psychological factors that can lead to road rage in a person,
00:57 especially for those who are just ordinary people who are not used to death or illness?
01:02 If you cannot control your anger, this is what we call an increase in dopamine levels.
01:13 Dopamine neurotransmitters are hormones that increase aggression.
01:23 So that is one factor.
01:25 The second factor is stress that you cannot control.
01:31 Thirdly, if you have internal factors that are happening to you or you are going through something,
01:39 this can also cause problems in controlling anger.
01:45 Doc, regarding the so-called "pigons" or those who are easily angry,
01:49 what can they do?
01:51 Do you think they should still drive?
01:55 You know, they can still drive.
01:59 The problem is that before you drive, you should be psychologically prepared to drive.
02:07 They should eat well and they should not be tired when driving.
02:15 And not only that, they should be in a happy disposition and not angry at home.
02:23 Then they will drive. That is not right.
02:27 Doc, how about the people who are repeatedly involved in road rage incidents or those who are on the road?
02:35 Should they see a doctor to be able to help them?
02:41 That means that they have a problem because of repetitive behaviors of aggression, anger, and bad temper.
02:53 That means that they cannot control themselves.
02:57 So they should see a doctor.
02:59 Doc, when we go out of the house every day, what should we do to avoid and not get involved in road rage incidents?
03:09 First, make sure that you are at peace with yourself.
03:15 Second, it is also important that the road is not a battlefield.
03:24 We should remember that we have to do our roles every day so that we can work,
03:30 we can go where we should go, and make sure that there is respect when we are on the road.
03:38 Doc, are you in favor of having an anti-road rage law that will give heavy penalties to those who are involved?
03:48 For me, it is important that the right treatment is not a penalty.
03:56 There is a reason why there is road rage.
03:59 It is important to identify if the repetitive behavior of a road rager
04:07 should be given treatment because it is a medicine.
04:15 Alright. Thank you very much Dr. Bernadette Arsena. Good evening, Doc.
04:21 Good evening, Doc.
04:23 on.
