Dr Noor Hisham: With Covid-19 impacting mental health, society must play role in identifying early symptoms of depression among loved ones

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 10 — The community in Malaysia is not exempted from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on their mental health, said Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

“Suicidal behaviour includes suicidal ideation, suicidal plan, suicide attempt and death due to suicide,” he said in a statement in conjunction with World Suicide Prevention Day today. In line with the concept of the Malaysian Family, Dr Noor Hisham said the society should play a role in identifying the early symptoms of depression and suicidal behaviour among their loved ones.

He said various initiatives were carried out by the Health Ministry in addressing the issue of suicidal behaviour, including strengthening of mental health and psychosocial support services and support efforts to decriminalize suicide attempts.

Leaders from Dr M's generation won't change - analystThey also won't take a chance on the young. What a mind-blowing observation.

This is poor analysis. No one screams that LKS has been an MP for 40+ years or Anwar who has been TRYING to be PM for 20+ years and not giving way to others 🤣🤣 You do need to have an analyst to said this.
