Symptoms

Mental health is important because it plays a crucial role in a person's overall well-being and ability to lead a happy and fulfilling life. Mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, can have a major impact on a person's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and can lead to a wide range of physical and emotional problems. In severe cases, mental health disorders can lead to disability and even death.

Depression

Anxiety

Bipolar Disorder

Mental Disability

PROFESSIONAL STAFF

One of the problems affecting the provision of effective community mental health service delivery is limited number of professional staff

LANGUAGE BARRIERS

The fact that mental health diagnosis and treatment must be communicated to service users in their language, language barriers pose a problem in the delivery of mental health services

STIGMATISATION

People with mental illness are subjected to public stigma and discriminatory attitudes that others have about mental illness, as well as self-stigma, internalised shame they have about their own condition
