Psychiatrist Luis Emilio Montalvo says that 67% of the patients he sees in his office suffer from insomnia. He also said that depression was very common in the DR. In an interview in Hoy, he also warned that Dominican parents are too permissive, and urged them to return to moral and ethical values and to be less lax with their offspring. In his opinion, it is necessary to go back to the days when family meant values and supervision. He said that after the 1960s, Dominican families went from being extremely repressive to focusing on pleasure, and society has gradually adopted the perception that money can solve everything. He said that from being controlled and repressed, today's youth have a carefree attitude and a passion for pleasure without regard for who might get harmed in the process. He said in the 1960s and 70s there were many neurotic personalities, drowning because of the repression, but now parents let their offspring do as they please and this has had a direct effect on society. He said that neurotic conducts persist, but mainly those are people without control and that do not respect limits. He said there is a deficit of values in this society today. As a result, he says that young people see drug consumption and drug trafficking as a solution to their problems. "We cannot continue educating our young people with the subtle message that all can be had," he said.
