Online therapy in Singapore

With the number of people around the world suffering from mental illnesses on the rise, there has been increased demand for professional counselling services. This is why more and more people are turning to online therapy in Singapore as it offers an accessible way of getting help. Online therapy is also beneficial because it allows therapists to treat individuals living with disabilities. They can also help to treat those who have problems with mobility and transportation.

The age of technology has made it possible for people who need counselling services to be able to receive them without having to leave the comfort of their homes. This is because mental health professionals are using various technologies to deliver their services. For instance, video conferencing applications enable therapists and patients to meet for therapy sessions. These sessions can be equally effective as therapeutic face-to-face meetings.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

Mental Health in Singapore

A study was done in Singapore to find out what mental health conditions are more common. They found that 6 percent of people in Singapore suffer from depression. This is the most common mental illness in the country, with schizophrenia coming in second at 3 percent. Bipolar disorder is also fairly prevalent, with 2 percent of people suffering from this condition.

The study also found that there is a strong link between mental illness and suicide. People with mental illnesses such as depression and schizophrenia are more likely to attempt suicide than people who aren’t mentally ill. However, it’s very important to note that most people with mental health issues do not attempt suicide. This is because many people who suffer from these mental illnesses seek help and treatment.

People who commit suicide in Singapore are much more likely to be men than women. However, the rate of attempted suicides for women is higher; this means that although fewer women actually die from suicide, they make more attempts to end their lives. This may be because it’s harder for men to ask for help, or that women are better at recognizing the symptoms of depression.

The elderly are more likely to commit suicide than younger Singaporeans, but they’re also less likely to attempt suicide due to their age. People over 60 make up 32 percent of suicides in Singapore, despite making up only 13 percent of the population.
