It is not weak to seek mental health support…and when should we do it? | Keira Ngo | TEDxHUS

Phrases like "mental health" or "self-healing" seem not so strange to all of us nowadays, especially young people. However, in Vietnam today, only 20% of people with psychological disorders go to the right specialist. Basically, people with mental illness also need to recognize the symptoms and conduct the same examination as common diseases. Meanwhile, it is much more difficult for a person struggling with emotional trauma to determine their own psychological status and seek help by themselves. This becomes even more complicated when worries about social prejudice keep swarming around in their minds. Is using psychological counseling services a sign of weakness or a serious problem as many people think? Let’s find out the answers with Ms.Keira Ngo!
