KUALA LUMPUR: Over 100,000 individuals have received mental support services from the Mental Illness Awareness and Support Association (Miasa) from August 2020 until March this year, says its president Anita Abu Bakar.

She said from this number, those in the 25- to 40-year-old age group made the most calls, while eight-year-olds were the youngest callers.

“This has resulted in many, including children, who do not know the way to express their feelings when confined to their houses, or whose parents are busy. Due to a combination of factors, many have mental health issues. “Unfortunately, some of them are already in a bad situation ... depressed, having extreme anxiety, and some are even suicidal,” she said at the closing ceremony of the Kick for Mental Health charity football match organised by Miasa yesterday.

In her speech, Ras Adiba urged the community not to be ashamed and to immediately seek support if they suspect they have mental health problems.
