A 'Thoughtful' Conversation About Mental Health And Online Therapy

An estimate of 264 million people around the world suffer from depression and in Malaysia, one in three adults are grappling with mental health problems. This problem is so acute that children as young as 10 years old are seeking help for clinical depression.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 1 in 4 people experiences mental illness at some point in their lives. Depression, one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, makes up 4.3% of the global disease burden. However, despite the alarming statistics, mental health is a highly stigmatized and largely ignored problem in Malaysia and is often regarded as an afterthought.
