MENTAL HEALTH : A RISING CONCERN FOR OKU MENTAL HEALTH CARDHOLDERS

-

         Mental health issues are on the rise. We can't deny that eventually. With the number of suicides on the rise, we, as a society should be more empathetic to those who are suffering in silence.        There's a rising concern about those who have an OKU mental card. In recent days, people with this cardholder have been stigmatized and viewed as bad in society.         It's time that we change this point of view.  How do we, as a society in Malaysia, change the public's view on this?       Firstly, we should Raise Awareness through education. Why?  Because once people hear the word "OKU" ( Orang Kurang Upaya ), their first thought is people with physical disabilities. But in reality,  people don't know that there are several categories of disabilities or special-abled people. One of them is the OKU category under mental health.

Should I Rise Up Or Should I Fall ?

I want to rise up so badly, but sometimes I seem to fall. I don’t know why. So, my question is this: should I rise strong, or is it okay to fall to the ground? Is it okay to fall sometimes?

World Mental Health Day Poem

  In the calmness of the sea, lies a story, A story untold, too fearful to be heard. Its beauty hides within itself, Where no one dares for it to be exposed. For the fear was far too great, Not even the bravest soldier could face it. But once, I heard of it— This great story of ours shall not fade away. You shall witness this unbelievable truth, The times we struggled just to rise from bed, The days we felt like quitting, but we didn’t. Oh, how little praise we receive from others. On World Mental Health Day, let us join hand in hand, As we march on this great journey of ours, Together, as we climb this mighty mountain, You will never believe our one brave, true story.
