It doesn’t help that people tend to put their best foot forward on social media postings. But there is a silver lining: On social media, especially Twitter, I’ve read many honest outpourings from young mental health patients. It is high time all stakeholders worked together to address mental health from an end-to-end perspective. It is a collective failure that fellow Malaysians saw a 16-year-old’s cry for help on Instagram as something trivial. It will also be our collective responsibility to ensure such a case never happens again.
