Growing Pains (Threading Worlds: Conversations on Mental Health)
Diverse voices on mental wellness in Singapore that bring you closer to your emotional and mental truth Written by the author Ming Kwang, the book begins with an overview of how mental health affects us all. Many people associate mental health with conditions such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, which can only be properly identified through a clinical diagnosis. However, what's missing in today's mental health conversations is the concept of mental and emotional wellbeing. They are like an invisible force - we cannot see or touch them, but we certainly can feel them within us. It sometimes catches us off-guard, and we wonder why we feel the way we do, or what Where, in our environment, can we encounter these frictions or triggers to our mental health? We spoke with individuals from different personal and professional backgrounds in Singapore to learn how their environment shapes their mental and emotional well-being. They each bring a unique perspective on how our external circumstances shape our internal experiences, and shed light on the unexpected and less known areas of mental health. The stressors of life affect everyone, regardless of age, gender, religion or economic class. Over time, our internal emotional landscape is shaped by these stressors, and we view the world through our 'tinted pair of glasses'. The stories told within this book will hopefully inspire people to think about what mental health means to them as individuals, to their community, and even to the nation.
