00:00I don't want to accept it. I don't want to accept it because if possible, I want to deny that I have it.

00:10Because my feeling at that time, I felt like it was not normal for other people.

00:16Maybe other people have a low opinion of me.

00:19For patients with major disabilities, it is only desirable to introduce Ainur when diagnosed at the age of 21,

00:27she could not accept the reality of the disease.

00:31She said it was too heavy to bear and worried about the acceptance of family and friends.

00:37The treatment that I consider to be a contribution to me getting depression

00:45is the injustice that I received from my mother and also physical and mental abuse

00:56from my mother and also my sister.

00:58I was depressed when the mistakes were clearly not me who did it

01:03and I told my mother that I didn't do it, but my mother still hit me.

01:11The second child of the seven siblings said,

01:14he collapsed with physical and emotional changes until he injured himself,

01:19causing him to be determined to get treatment.

01:23So on that day, I went to three health centers to get diagnosed if I really had depression or not.

01:35At that time, I didn't know I had depression.

01:38I thought I had ADHD, but in the referral letter from the health clinic,

01:45it said major depressive disorder.

01:47When I read that, I felt very down.

01:54I felt like my world was falling apart.

01:56I was sad because I didn't have anyone.

01:58I didn't want to accept it.

02:00I didn't want to accept it because if possible, I wanted to deny that I had it.

02:08At that time, I felt abnormal like other people.

02:13Maybe other people were looking down on me.

02:16According to the President of the Malaysian Mental Health Association, Dr. Andrew Muharraj,

02:21mental illness is often seen as a weakness and imperfection.

02:26He said, therefore, the treatment offered to discrimination and avoidance by patients

02:32get the usual treatment.

02:35Although half of the mental illness is related to the increase of risk to oneself,

02:43such as hurting oneself or killing oneself,

02:48and also related to the risk to others,

02:53for example, aggressive behavior.

02:56But it should be noted here that most individuals with mental illness

03:06are actually not dangerous and are more likely to be victims of violence

03:13and not perpetrators of violence.

03:16However, he said normalizing mental illness as a health problem

03:21can help deal with stigma and encourage individuals to get help without feeling ashamed.
