One in 7 people in S'pore suffer mental illness. - BigBossX - 02-08-2021
This means each class of 30 students have 4 or 5 kids that need treatment. Are they getting it? Do we provide enough support?...or does it go untreated as everyone pretend nothing wrong?
Singapore society is high pressure one with children subjected to high competitive pressure. Due to this mental illness rose from 1 in 50 to 1 in 7. If we continue pressuring m, it will rise to.1 in 5 in near future.
How then do we cope. Should more children be put on medication?
Quote:Statistics from the Samaritans of Singapore (SOS) last week showed that the number of suicides in Singapore for those aged in their 20s remained the highest last year compared to those in other age groups.

The form teachers are not trained to spot early such mental students. If these students are spotted early, they can be treated.
However, our useless school education system do not encourage teachers to be able to identify such students.

One of my tuition students was bullied...later suffered depression.
Mother went to school the teachers brush it off and say other student behavior "normal of kids this age". ...nothing done.
The .mom had to pull the kid out to home school.
Every case of bullying should be treated with very seriously as victim may be mentally vulnerable and something dangerous can happen.
MOE should release number of bullying complaints and how many children have to drop out because of this.

I think you are mistaken.
The pressures faced by young is at a different level from old uncle's time.
Last time they spend time playing marbles or catching.
Now the pressure on children is very high like pressure cooker.
And Singapore MOE refuse to follow scientific evidence of nit conducting early testing like PSLE... .what is the purpose anyway when so may top jobs are filled by foreigners?

You are but they said it's mental illness. Nothing to do with mental illness, its unrealistic expectation is the main cause.
If are strong mentally and confident in yourself, one should not worry too much about external influence

the pressure are due to adult.
for example, the pressure you gave to your "tution student" could be the cause for his mental illness.

I think one in seven suffered mental illness is rather conservative figure. I believed the figure is much higher and probably in region of six out of ten. This observation is based on behaviours of forum members in HWZ and Sgtalk.........
