Mental Health Is as Important as Physical Health

Physical condition is much easier to notice than mental health. Some people may look OK outside but hurting inside. Some people looks physically healthy but are suffering from a mental disorder. And just because it doesn't happen to you, doesn't mean it's not real.

I'm glad that nowadays, many groups and individuals are advocating for mental health awareness. This somehow helps in removing the stigma on this matter. But letting most people become aware does not fully help the suffering ones. Seeking a professional help is what they need. Unfortunately, it is not affordable for most people. Aside from the high-priced professional fees, the medicines that they will prescribe are costly as well.

My wish, as a mental health advocate, is that the healthcare system of my country improves. I hope this should be the government's priority. If this one step will become better, everything follows and will fall into its place ☺️
