KUALA LUMPUR: The government must establish a National Mental Well-being Index (MWI) to systematically measure and monitor the mental health of Malaysians, amid rising concerns over mental health issues across all age groups, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.
Lee, a member of the Mental Health Advisory Council, said it was time for Malaysia to recognise mental well-being as a national priority and assess it with the same importance as economic indicators such as GDP, inflation and employment.
