More seeking mental health help is a positive shift, say experts

PETALING JAYA: The growing number of Malaysians seeking help for mental health issues should not be viewed negatively, say mental health experts.

In fact, this shows that Malay­sians are more open to getting help and it can be viewed as a positive step towards the destigmatisation of mental health issues, said psychologist Assoc Prof Dr Anasuya Jegathevi Jega­thesan.
