4.0
A very informative book shining light on mental health issues in Malaysia. The book covers the experiences of those afflicted by all sorts of mental illness, the current situation in Malaysia (2016) based on statistics, the differences between psychology and psychiatry, the expectations on psychologists and psychiatrists and even mentall illness among the homeless.
For a short book, it is packed with lots of information and very easy to read. Even though it is a non-fiction touching a sensitive and heavy topic, it's not dry at all and was not in any way triggering (as books on mental health usually are) for me.
