Singapore’s effective mental health system
Authors
Elbert Aldwin H De Jesus, Funom Theophilus Makama
Abstract
This review aims at demonstrating how
Singapore has been able to excellently tackle the mental health issues of its
population and how this immense success can be improved on, firstly, by
determining the cause of Mental Health across age, sex, ethnicity, lifestyle,
social interactions, family factors, stigma and discrimination and how they
affect mental health in Singapore. And then analysing the government’s ability
to create, implement and continue to develop initiatives tailored towards
tackling these determinants to what has made Singapore a model for the rest of
the world. This success should, however, be built on, as gaps have been
identified, and if filled, should improve the already functioning Mental Health
system. Countries around the world, especially in Asia can emulate this
methodology of identifying social determinants and tackling them is an
effective way of addressing mental health in their respective regions.
