The number of men suffering from mental disorder is almost double compared to women in the country.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr S Subramaniam said the National Morbidity Study carried out last year revealed that a total of 42,168 people sought psychiatric treatment at government hospitals for some form of mental disorder.
"Of this, a total of 27,855 men suffered mental disorder compared to 14,313 women," he said in written reply to a question by Nik Mohamad Abduh Nik Abdul Aziz (PAS-Pasir Mas) in Dewan Rakyat Wednesday.
He added that those between 20 and 49 years old tend to suffer from mental disorder.
Dr Subramaniam said there are several categories of mental disorders.
This, he added, ranged from organic mental disorder, disorder due to substance abuse, schizophrenia, neurosis and mental retardation.
He also said there were many factors that led to mental illness.
"One of it is genetics where a person who has a family history of mental illness may have a higher chance of suffering mental disorder," he said.
Other factors, he added, were dysfunctional neurotransmitters and traumatic life experience such as the loss of a loved one, separation or divorce.
"Lower social economic factors such as financial issue, poverty and the lack of basic amenities are also factors that could lead to mental disorder," he said.
To address this issue, Dr Subramaniam said the National Consultative Council on Mental Health was set up in 2011 to draft programmes for the ministry to promote healthy life style and awareness campaigns.
For example, the Healthy Mind Programme was carried out in 2,343 schools nationwide to educate students on keeping a healthy mind.
Clearly a sexist study...
See Hot-Crazy Matrix UTube videos...
lol!
love it, it’s funny because it is true!
This is what happens TO BOYS when boys are raised without a father in the home. More prevalent in the black community AND LOOK HOW THAT TURNED OUT.
Women have been taught to laugh at men’s pain.
The entirety of the human race, however, must tend their pain.
In liberal cities, a woman’s merest concern, alone, with no evidence whatsoever, can get a man arrested.
Other than that, we’re all equal.
Just remember that they are always the victims, and so anything they do is justified.
Or else.
Before I found a sane woman to marry I dated a slew who turned out to be nuts a few weeks in when they thought the relationship had legs. But perhaps my experience was “unique”. S#!+house Rat, thy name is Woman.
And now with Extra Indifference through the miracle of antidepressants!
Men are genetically incomplete. The Y-chromosome is missing a part.
It’s all downhill from there.
Not a US study. In the US, women suffer mental illness at a higher rate than men.
This study is from Malaysia, a country where muslim fathers stay at home.
“... Study carried out last year revealed that a total of 42,168 people sought psychiatric treatment at government hospitals for some form of mental disorder.”
Oh my! All of those women running around untreated! lol!
Right. More “facts” from people who will tell us that Bruce/Caitlin Jenner is sane.
No profession is more adept at pulling numbers out of their bungholes than these clowns.
British papers and sources say women are more likely to develop mental illness. They are certainly more likely to seek treatment. Women are more likely to be depressed and suffer through it. Men are more likely to commit suicide, and probably to act out. If you’re in a country where suffering in silence is assumed to be the natural human condition and running amok is a major problem, you might well think men are more likely to be mentally ill.
Because women are always right?
I got mine from She Who Must Be Obeyed.
Amen!
“The number of men suffering from mental disorder is almost double compared to women in the country.”
This guy doesn’t get out much, huh?
Well yeah, when FUWYBA is defined as a “mental disorder.”
