My Voice Overcoming
When his mentee tragically took his own life amid depression in early 2010, it caused Chua Seng Lee to despair. Little did he realise that mental illness, with the stigma surrounding it, is prevalent and a rising issue in Singapore. His sense of mission to raise mental health awareness led him to work on this pioneering book. My Voice: Overcoming captures the authentic, poignant and heartfelt voices of people who have suffered from different forms of mental illness, and how they have struggled and recovered. It also sends a message of hope through illuminating perspectives from leading psychiatrists, mental health practitioners and caregivers.
