Dear Editor,
Of recent, there’s been an increase of posts flooding social media on mental health, and whilst many are citing others or their observations, some seemed to be experiencing the same symptoms based on their posts. Of all the posts about mental health, only one person posts up information regarding counseling for mental health issues. There are about nine places offering counseling services and only the Ministry of Health is offering their service for free. Many people are willing to seek help for issues affecting them, and some are reluctant to visit the Ministry. It’s time the government seriously make provisions to combat this plague. Get more centres countrywide and ensure the service is free.
Sincerely,
Sahadeo Bates
