Competitive school environment making teenagers depressed
PARENTAL pressure and a competitive environment can drive adolescents toward depression, says a mental health expert. Consultant psychiatrist Datuk Dr Andrew Mohanraj said students in urban schools often faced intense pressure due to the competitive atmosphere they were thrust into. 'This is aggravated by additional tutoring, extra assignments, and co-curricular demands, leaving little room for rest or leisure, which leads to increased psychological stress. 'This is further heightened when schools and families use a punitive approach to poor academic performance, leading to anxiety and depressive symptoms,' he added. Dr Andrew said authoritarian parenting styles, which lacked warmth or supportive communication, could also reduce students' ability to cope with academic or social pressures. He said punitive actions could worsen students' mental health too. 'All teachers should be trained in psychological first aid.' - Datuk Dr Andrew Mohanraj He was commenting on Selangor public health and environment committee chairman Jamaliah Jamaluddin's revelation that 1,020 out of 36,428 secondary school students in Selangor have shown early signs of being at high risk for depression. She had said the findings were based on the 'Minda Sihat' (Healthy Mind) Mental Health Screening Analysis for the 2024/2025 school session. Dr Andrew said Jamaliah's revelation was very concerning, noting that family pressure could be one of the main factors. 'Malaysian culture places a strong emphasis on educational achievement as a path to success and family honour. 'Many students fear disappointing their parents or being perceived as a failure,' said Dr Andrew who is also president of Selangor Mental Health Association. He added that some parents tend to focus solely on academic outcomes without acknowledging emotional needs. When contacted, a school counsellor from Selangor, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said some 80% of students found to be at the verge of depression in her school came from a T20 background. The counsellor said the remaining 20% came from broken B40 families. 'B40 students who come from a stable family background are happier,' said the teacher. She said the unhappy students from T20 families told school counsellors their parents expected too much from them and that they were worried of disappointing them. The counsellor said the students also complained they had too many things to do, with even sporting and leisure activities chosen for them by their parents. 'These students say nothing they do, even for leisure, is by choice,' she added. Consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr Rahima Dahlan said parents, teachers and peers played a crucial role in detecting depression early. 'If a child or teen seems 'off' for more than two weeks, especially if their functioning at school, home or socially is affected, it's time to talk, and, if needed, seek professional help,' said Dr Rahima. She said the earlier depression was detected in adolescents, the better the outcome as it was treatable and recovery was possible with the right support. 'The first step is to create a safe environment where young people feel they can talk about their feelings without being judged. 'Often, teenagers don't speak up because they fear being labelled as 'weak' or a 'problem'. 'Listening with empathy is powerful.' She said teachers must be trained to recognise warning signs and school counsellors should be easily accessible. Dr Rahima said that while programmes such as 'Minda Sihat' were important, the key was to have follow-ups to ensure those flagged as at-risk did not fall through the cracks. 'Parents can help by maintaining open conversations, setting realistic expectations and ensuring a balance between academics, rest and social life,' said Dr Rahima, adding that family counselling would also be helpful if there were conflicts or stress at home. Dr Andrew said many schools had insufficient counsellors to meet the needs of students, with one counsellor assigned to manage hundreds of students, thus limiting meaningful engagement. 'School counsellors are often burdened with disciplinary duties rather than focusing on mental health counselling. 'There should not be a need to rely solely on school counsellors to offer mental health support, as teachers should also be given training in psychological first aid,' he said.

Men, don't wait for pain to be the wake-up call
GLENEAGLES Hospital Johor (GHJ) urologist consultant Dr Zainal Adwin Zainal Abiddin said many Malaysian men continued to view symptoms such as weak urine flow or sexual dysfunction as too sensitive to discuss and often brush them aside until the problem worsens. "These symptoms are frequently downplayed because they are seen as private or emasculating. But delaying treatment can lead to more invasive procedures, higher complication rates and poorer recovery outcomes." Dr Zainal also one of Malaysia's few fellowship-trained robotic urology surgeons who underwent advanced training in Glasgow, Scotland. He said many men are raised to see pain as weakness. Many view urological symptoms as embarrassing, so there's a tendency to downplay or ignore them, hoping the symptoms will go away. He warned that early signs like frequent urination, blood in the urine, testicular lumps or erectile difficulties could point to more serious conditions, such as prostate enlargement, kidney disease, or even undiagnosed or early-stage cancers. Dr Zainal said men in their 40s and 50s commonly face issues like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), erectile dysfunction and prostate or kidney cancers. Early detection, he stressed, allows for less invasive intervention and better long-term quality of life. "Once symptoms progress, treatment may no longer be straightforward. Some men end up with irreversible damage or need more aggressive treatment than if they had come earlier. "Men in this age group often downplay or ignore symptoms like frequent or painful urination, weak urine flow blood in urine, besides testicular lumps and erectile dysfunction. "These symptoms are seen as embarrassing, so they often suffer in silence. "But by delaying treatment, they miss the window for less invasive options and that can lead to irreversible complications like incontinence, sexual dysfunction or even cancer progression," he said. Gleneagles Hospital Johor pulls out all the stops by investing heavily in cutting-edge medical equipment and technologies. The hospital aims to deliver faster recovery and treatments with minimal pain for its patients. The robotic urology surgery merges machine precision with human mastery. Using robotic arms controlled from a console, surgeons are able to operate in tight pelvic areas with unmatched dexterity, 3D vision, and minimal trauma to surrounding tissues. GHJ's growing team of consultants are pioneering the use of robotic-assisted surgery — a state-of-the-art technique that's revolutionising treatment for conditions such as prostate cancer, kidney tumours, bladder complications and ureteric disorders. Among the tools changing the game is robotic-assisted surgery. Using robotic arms controlled via a console, surgeons are able to perform complex procedures through small incisions with unparalleled precision. "Robotic surgery offers 3D high-definition vision and fine control. It's especially useful in the pelvic area where space is tight, like in prostate surgery. We're talking smaller cuts, less blood loss and faster recovery," Dr Zainal said. Unlike the name suggests, the robot does not operate on its own. It's an extension of the surgeon's hands, offering better dexterity and control. Patients regain urinary and sexual function faster with fewer complications. "The word 'robot' makes some people nervous." "But let's be clear, the robot doesn't move unless I move. It's not autonomous — it's an advanced surgical tool that lets me do far more, with far less harm," Dr Zainal explained. Robotic procedures involve smaller incisions, less blood loss, lower infection risk, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery and better preservation of urinary control and sexual function. Apart from being less invasive, robotic-assisted surgeries significantly shorten recovery time, allowing patients to heal faster and return to their routines sooner. "Many of my patients return to work within a few weeks. More importantly, they return to their lives — restored confidence, relationships and independence," said Dr Zainal. He urged families, particularly spouses and children, to speak up when they notice changes in their husbands, fathers, uncles and brothers. "Often times men will ignore the symptoms, but will act for the people they care about." Dr Zainal's message to men is clear: "own your health". "Health is a man's greatest wealth but unlike money, it can't be earned back once it's gone," he said. "I've seen how early action, combined with advanced treatments, like robotic surgery, can give men a second chance. But that chance starts with a decision — to own your health, today." "So, gentlemen, please don't wait for pain to be the wake-up call. Get checked. Get treated. And get back to living fully."

2,000 turn up for hospital's health festival in Selangor
The Life Moves Festival by Sunway Medical Centre drew thousands of enthusiastic attendees. Over 2,000 individuals joined the inaugural Life Moves Festival hosted by Sunway Medical Centre (SMC) in Sunway City, Selangor, and rallied to take charge of their health. According to the National Health and Morbidity Survey 2023, 15.6% of Malaysian adults lived with diabetes, while over 50% were overweight or obese, SMC said in a statement. Cardiovascular disease and cancer remained major contributors to premature mortality, with many cases detected only at advanced stages, making early intervention more vital than ever, it said. The event aimed to bring core health services into a communal open-door setting, offering free screenings and assessments including blood glucose and cholesterol checks, body composition analysis and urine tests. SMC medical professionals were on hand to provide wellness guidance, with many participants receiving consultation on their health. 'In many cases, early detection and effective management can improve patients' outcomes and control the progression of non-communicable diseases,' said Sunway Medical Centre, Sunway City chief executive officer Dr Seow Vei Ken. 'We encourage the community to take their health seriously. 'Sometimes, the first step is simply knowing where you stand. 'Early action and accountability strengthen our healthcare system and benefit the nation in the long run,' Dr Seow added. One of the standout experiences was the 'Jantungku' walkthrough exhibit, a multi-sensory journey through the cardiovascular system. The exhibit served as a powerful reminder of how everyday lifestyle choices directly impact long-term well-being. Parents and children enjoyed the health-themed game stations and hands-on activities at the family-friendly event, while shoppers explored the vibrant health marketplace.
