Knowing Who has Mental Health Problem and Needs Help

By Dr Poon Teng Fatt

This eBook is about mental health awareness and support.  It focuses on one of the most crucial steps, which is recognising those who may be grappling with mental health challenges and ensuring they receive the assistance they need.  Yet, identifying individuals in need of help can often be complex, as mental health issues may manifest in various ways and can sometimes go unnoticed or misunderstood. This eBook seeks to explore the importance of being attuned to the signs of mental health problems, the barriers to recognising them and the significance of offering support and intervention. By delving into these aspects, we aim to underscore the urgency of identifying individuals who require help, thereby fostering a more empathetic and proactive approach to mental health care within our communities.

Acknowledgement

Iwrote this eBook based on my years of experience on the ground as teacher, tutor and lecturer, editor, writer and researcher.  The success that stems from those occupations gave me the impetus to continue my passion as writer and editor.  Editing and writing is my forte.  I can say it is in the lifeblood of a master’s spirit.

I give thanks to the people I have interacted with all the years in those occupations because it is through fulfilling work experiences with them in tasks and procedures throughout my life that I have truly learned what is essential and basic in knowing who has mental health problem and needs help.
