[SG] Wants higher birth rate, but unwilling to fund treatment for childhood mental problems. Is PAP running a human egg/poultry farm in Singapore? Never mind if kids suicide rates are increasing in Singapore, just produce more to replace those who committed suicide/ mentally burned out/ disabled, like a cookie factory, just producing more and more faceless people to fill up sweat factory/ production line seats (or to do menial tasks for foreigners living here like waiting at tables, security, menial jobs etc) Paving the way for more babies LEE MIN KOK, MY Paper, Aug 24, 2015 https://www.asiaone.com/singapore/paving-way-more-babies ------------------ Forum: Support network for mental health treatment needs attention Posed photo of a woman with depression. https://www.straitstimes.com/forum/...k-for-mental-health-treatment-needs-attention "To date, the Clinical and Health Psychology Clinic (CHPC) has been unable to give me an appointment date as its intern psychologists' schedule is full".

PHOTO: ST FILE PUBLISHED: 09 October 2019. It has been reported that this year's President's Challenge will focus on helping those with mental health issues. While this is a great cause, let us not just focus on the funding aspects. The support network for mental health treatment needs urgent attention as well, if my experience is anything to go by. Last month, I took my daughter, a junior college student preparing to take her A-level examinations, to the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) as she was dealing with some psychological issues. IMH referred her to the Health Promotion Board's (HPB) Child Guidance Clinic for a follow-up. As the queue at the HPB for psychotherapy was long, the doctor directed her to the Clinical and Health Psychology Clinic (CHPC) at the National University of Singapore for psychotherapy with intern psychologists. To date, the CHPC has been unable to give me an appointment date as its intern psychologists' schedule is full. It has advised me to take my daughter to a hospital or private care service. This incident highlights a lack of mental health professionals and of a good support network for mental health patients in Singapore. As the population ages and the number of teen suicides rises, I hope the Ministry of Health will study the issue thoroughly and formulate a good plan to tackle mental health treatment.

I read many years ago that in the 1980s Singapore was concerned about college educated women not having enough babies. They were concerned that might drive the intelligence levels down overtime in the society, so at one point the government was offering free color television sets to college educated women who had a baby. Someone more cynical might say what they were really concerned about was the ethnic Chinese population in Singapore going down over time.
