Concern over spike in illegal psychiatric nursing homes

KLANG: Illegal psychiatric nursing homes are apparently sprouting in Selangor, causing concern for a mental health organisation.

Selangor Mental Health Association (SMHA) president Datuk Dr Andrew Mohanraj expressed alarm over the phenomenon, noting that while these centres aim to address the unmet needs of families seeking psychosocial support for their wards, many fail to meet the standards required by the relevant authorities.
