Mental health issues have risen dramatically in Malaysia over the years. According to the 2015 National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS), 29.2% of adult Malaysians (18-65 years old) are estimated to be affected with mental health problems. This means 3 in every 10 adult Malaysians (about 9.6 million) may have mental health problems and at least 2 million adults with serious mental illnesses.
Besides, the young age group (5-15 years old) has been found to be affected with mental health problems too. According to the 2023 NHMS, 16.5% of children in this age group face mental health issues, with peer problems being the most prevalent, followed by conduct and emotional problems. The study also found that older children (10-15 years old), females, and those from urban areas or middle-income households had higher rates of mental health concerns.
Here is a list of psychological and counselling services centres in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur for your references (no particular order).
