Associate Professor Mythily Subramaniam on mental health literacy study

A national study on mental health has revealed a significant reduction in stigmatisation, with more Singaporeans also aware of - and able to recognise - common mental health conditions. CNA speaks to Associate Professor Mythily Subramaniam, Assistant Chairman of the Medical Board at the Institute of Mental Health, and the co-investigator of the national study on mental health literacy. She shares some of the rationales behind the study, recognising certain conditions such as depression and gambling, and how the raised awareness could help Singapore's efforts with helping those with mental health issues.
