In Malaysia we had the extraordinary occasion when the King consented to have the green ribbon pinned on him, thereby highlighting the importance of giving attention to the issue of mental health not only in Malaysia but globally as well.
Investing in mental healthGlobally, there is huge inequity in the distribution of skilled human resources for mental health. Short-ages of psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, psychologists and social workers are one of the main barriers to providing treatment and care in low- and middle-income countries.
There is also a need to strengthen the voice of users of mental health services and their role in advocacy to ensure that the rights of people with mental disabilities are fully represented. In Australia, Britain and the Scandinavian countries, there are junior ministers for mental health. While representation in the executive may be a far cry for us in Malaysia for now, a voice in the Upper House of Parliament should be feasible.
In addition, corporations have not woken up to the fact that depression in the workplace, often disguised as physical complaints, can result in absenteeism and loss of productivity.
