Health Check Ep 25: How to spot mental health issues if you are aged 16-30

15:02 mins

Synopsis: In this fortnightly podcast series on Wednesdays, The Straits Times guides you to healthier living and clears up some common misconceptions on health.

In this episode, ST correspondent Joyce Teo and podcasting head Ernest Luis host Lee Yi Ping, team leader and senior youth support worker for the Community Health Assessment Team (CHAT) - which celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2019.

This episode is aimed at youth mental health trends in Singapore today and what it's like making the first move to seek help at CHAT.

CHAT is a national outreach and mental health check programme under the Institute of Mental Health (IMH), that is aimed at youth aged 16-30, including young working adults, and has an actual space at *Scape, 2 Orchard Link.

 Ms Lee answers the following questions: 

1. Why parents, educators or even work supervisors should listen to this podcast as well, to identify who might need support (3:04)

2. What are the main stress triggers for young people? (5:06)

3. What is the difference between seeing a free and confidential help service like CHAT, and seeing a medical professional like a psychiatrist or psychologist? (8:00) 

4. Why mood disorders and psychosis-related issues form a large part of the conditions young people report to CHAT (11:57) 

5. When you should notice warning signs and seek help (13:08)
