Mental illness is prevalent in Singapore but social stigmatism prevents prompt diagnosis, treatment and social support.
To care effectively for individuals with mental illness, health professionals should understand the various aspects of the condition including recognition, diagnosis, therapies, its chronic and relapsing nature and available support structures. Mental illness may co-exist with other chronic diseases and adds to the complexity of care. Taking steps to de-stigmatize mental illness will ensure holistic management of these adults.
The SGH-UIC Ambulatory Care Course: Shining the Light on Caring for Adults with Mental Health Conditions will discuss on how to manage adults with mental illnesses.
