A survey on the mental health of Malaysians, aged 13 to 17, revealed one in five were depressed, two in five anxious and one in 10 feeling stressed.These are probably the morbid thoughts that haunt people with mental health issues and that eventually lead many to suicide, according to Befrienders Kuala Lumpur chairman Justin Victor, who called for those who are experiencing them to reach out for help.
“For every one person who commits suicide, 25 have attempted suicide and 125 had suicidal thoughts,” said Victor during a talk organised by Klang Valley Rotary Club here recently, in a prelude to its upcoming webinar on “Mental Health”. A person attending the talk also highlighted his concern over the current Covid-19 pandemic, the movement control order , and the subsequent economic fallout that is causing mental distress to many in society. All these, he said, could subsequently contribute to mental health issues and lead to suicides.
