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.
From whence came the saying “She drives me crazy”.
As my pal Popeye The Sailorman says “I luvs to go swimmin’ wit bow legged wimmen;’’!
That is one pretty girl. I don’t care if she does have ESPN.
LMAO!!!!
I am ducking and covering.
check my post number 46.
I wonder what % of men that seek mental health help are doing so for reasons that involve the opposite sex and how many women that seek help are doing so for reasons that involve men. It’s probably going to fairly high for both.
Then we can really determine who actually drives who crazy more. But I suspect that the results would be flawed for reasons you give.

No. It is because of the war on men (boys) and the radical feminazis who hate men and take it out on their own kids if they don’t kill them (women rule the public schools and the early years, and the Marxists/Feminists destroy and emasculate ALL boys (on purpose).
They make little boys feel “bad” about being male (destroy Virtue formation in young children, so they will be puerile and never flourish as adults. Children who hate themselves are never able to “Love” (selflessness).
Without Virtue, civil societies collapse. There is absolutely no ability to be Free and flourish and have positive relationships with the “Other” or even your own children, if you are without Virtue, which used to be taught and habituated in children with Classical Christian Education.
However, when a women needs help dealing with her mate she can always talk to her GBF (Gay Best Friend). Men seek help through their drinking buddies which is not necessarily a good thing.
Well, I never have seen or heard of a lesbian friend that a man confides in or whatever. It might happen, but not often. I’ve seen the male gay best friend thing multiple times.

I have never heard of a man confiding in his LBF.
My daughter had to learn that all of her straight male best friends usually had ulterior motives. One day she came home from school and told me she needed a gay best friend. Her current male best friend started putting the moves on her. I had to laugh when she told me that. I think she learned something about straight boys that day.
Tells me that half the women with such disorders seek treatment.
“I have never heard of a man confiding in his LBF.”
Right, that’s what I’m saying. Women are the ones that seek advice from the obviously mentally ill. So...

I knew that.Been married 56 years to the same man and as for something different we will divorce next year.Only kidding but he walks with a limp and I might trip him.:)
How is it that gay men can give advice to straight women about the relationships these women have with their husbands but gay women cannot give advice to males about the relationships these men have with their wives?
Nothing is stopping gay women from giving advice to married men about their relationship with their wives. Except for the fact that married men aren’t going to ask because they don’t want gay women’s advice about their wives. Thus, the difference.
