: Anita Abu Bakar was flying high over a decade ago. Married with a loving husband, two cute children and a flourishing career as an investment banker and managing director of an investment firm, it seemed that she had it all.
“ knew I wasn’t well but they didn’t know why or what it was. I felt ashamed, of course. Hence we didn’t talk about it,” she said. Non-governmental organisation Relate Mental Health Malaysia found 29 percent of workers surveyed in 2018 reported poor mental health conditions. In 2019, the American Insurance Association found that 51 percent of workers were suffering from one dimension of work-related stress and 53 percent reported getting fewer than seven hours of sleep per day.
But the difficulty in addressing mental health issues at the workplace usually stems from employers who may not have put any mental health provision in place either due to their ignorance and lack of care or their employees not being aware of their rights and how to utilise them. She said out of this group, 54 percent had sought help from a traditional healer first. She also called for more work on improving awareness and reducing stigma.
She also said people who have no friends or few friends or have the wrong or negative perception about seeking help for mental issues and with low social support are the least likely to seek help.Whether rightly or wrongly, there is a persistent trend among employees who are reluctant to report their mental health struggles fearing that it may torpedo their career prospects.
