PETALING JAYA: Mental health issues are taking a significant toll on the Malaysian economy, with workplace stress, job insecurity, and burnout contributing to this growing crisis, said a psychiatrist.

Dr Andrew stressed the urgency of addressing these issues, highlighting that one in three Malaysians experiences mental health challenges, a situation exacerbated by the pressures of modern work life. He said this during the Women’s Institute of Management Mental Health Forum 2024 on Saturday . Also present were Raja Permaisuri of Perak Tuanku Zara Salim.

Employers, according to Dr Andrew, play a crucial role in mitigating the effects of workplace-induced mental health issues. "A supportive workplace that fosters open communication, provides mental health services, and allows employees some flexibility is key to addressing these challenges," he said. Many employees, he said, may not be suited to their roles or may overstate their abilities, which can contribute to mental health deterioration.
