Consider This: Mental Health (Part 2) — One Million Malaysians Battling Depression
According to the most recent National Health and Morbidity Survey, one million individuals aged 15 and above in Malaysia are suffering from depression, with half of them harbouring thoughts of self-harm or thinking they were “better off dead”.
