According to the National Health and Morbidity Survey done in 2015, 29.2 per cent and 12.1 per cent of adults and children suffered mental health problems respectively. There are only 0.5 and 0.21 psychiatrists and psychologists per 100,000 population respectively. This is indeed alarming!
these symptoms of depression can be caused as a side effect of medications you are prescribed by your doctor. If such symptoms are undetected, it can exacerbate into depression and, potentially, suicide. I plead for greater emphasis to educate the general public on the key symptoms of common mental disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, which affect 2:1 and 1:1 females and males respectively. As such, there needs to be more thorough safeguards in place within different work forces to help identify individuals potentially at risk. This is essential to help oversee the wellbeing and welfare of our colleagues.
