Breaking The Silence - S1E1: The World Turned Upside Down
In this opening episode, 3 young Singaporeans share their stories of when things started going wrong and the darkest moments when their world turned upside down because of mental health issues.
Breaking The Silence
1 in 5 Singaporeans between the ages 18-34 years old will have faced a mental health issue in their lifetime. But even with increased awareness today, the stigma around mental health conditions remains, and recognising the signs and triggers, still a challenge.
This 2-part series goes into the complex, and often lonely, world of mental health struggles through the stories of 3 youths who have bravely taken the step to break the silence on their experience. In sharing what they went through – from the years of distress to finally seeking help, the setbacks they faced to their ongoing efforts to rise above their illness – they shine an intimate light on what it means to battle for their mental health.
