Mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety are more common than other diseases such as diabetes and heart diseases. These findings were published by the World Health Organization (WHO) at a recent conference, which was attended by experts from around the world.
Depression is one of the most common mental health conditions. In a recent survey conducted by WHO, more than 600 000 Malaysians were classified as suffering from depression or depressive behaviors. These individuals suffered from persistent feelings of sadness and despair for two weeks or more, which may interfere with daily life. Anxiety was also prevalent in Malaysia at 10%.
