TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - A mental health doctor at the Soeharto Heerdjan Mental Hospital (RSJ) said that long-term pornography addiction can affect behavior disorder and can result in severe mental disorder.

The Head of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Installation at Soeharto Heerdjan Mental Hospital, Dr. Suzy Yusna Dewi Sp.KJ (K)., said that short-term pornography addiction to children can cause behavior disorder.

“Pornography damages brain function which results in behavior and emotional disorders. Over time, it will cause brain structure disorders and brain damage,” Suzy said.

Suzy said a patient in Soeharto Heerdjan Hospital, who was still in junior high school, threatened to upload a pornography video of himself and his girlfriend on social media to silence his girlfriend.

The immoral act that was actually done at home and has been repeated many times began with the patient’s addiction to pornographic content he often saw.

“This is included as a mental disorder and the patient must be given psychotropic drugs,” the doctor said.

Therefore, Suzy emphasized the importance of parenting role and parents' attention to children. Based on the number of cases of mental disorders in children at Soeharto Heerdjan Hospital, Suzy revealed that most cases often occur in parents who are permissive or allow children to do anything.
