Bangkok: His Majesty the King Bhumibol Adulyadej was so revered that many Thai people around the country fainted or felt unwell when they learnt this week that he had died after 70 years on the throne.
\r\nTwo days on, the government says it has provided medical treatment to scores of people overcome by grief and has told mourners they can call a hotline to help them through the trauma.“There are people who hyperventilate and we try to calm them down by talking to them,” said Boonruang Triruangworawat, director general of the Department of Mental Health, “Others we have to send to hospital.” |
