At MMHA, we’ve observed that many men in Malaysia delay seeking mental health support, not because they’re weak, but because seeking help can feel difficult or complicated.

These struggles can show up in daily life: difficulty managing routines, changes in sleep or eating, feelings of anxiety or panic, or relying on alcohol or substances to cope. Recognising these signs early is important.

Seeking support doesn’t make you any less strong. Small steps matter: booking a tele-consult, having an honest conversation with someone you trust, or simply checking in on yourself or a mate today. Each step counts.

Swipe through to see practical ways to make help-seeking easier and the signs that it might be time to reach out!

Remember: Mental health is part of being strong, not doing it alone.

This month, we practiced the quiet courage of acceptance, letting in what life offers, even when it feels uncertain.

We allowed ourselves to pause and breathe, to notice the moments of hope that appear softly between challenges.
We found meaning in small beginnings and discovered that growth often starts not with a leap, but with a single, steady step.

Through reflection, we learned that opening up isn’t about control, it’s about trust, connection, and believing that each day holds possibility. 🌱

Stress is something most of us quietly carry.
It hides behind responsibility, care, work, and even kindness.

However, stress doesn’t exist on its own, it’s shaped by the pressures and expectations around us, the need to hold everything together, the fear of seeming weak, and the expectation to keep going no matter how much we’re struggling.

At MMHA, we see this every day in caregivers doing their best to stay strong, in clients rebuilding their strength after loss, in families trying to understand a loved one’s pain while managing their own. Stress often speaks quietly, through exhaustion, worry, and the weight of just trying to keep going.

This International Stress Awareness Day, MMHA invites you to take a step back and ask:
- Are we normalising burnout instead of balance?
- Are we giving people space to talk about their stress without judgment?
- Are we taking care of ourselves before our limits are crossed?

Awareness begins when we start treating stress as something we can do something about, together.

Let’s build workplaces, homes, and communities where taking a break isn’t seen as weakness, but as wisdom.

Behind every question a caregiver asks, there’s love, exhaustion, confusion, or worry.
Sometimes, you just want to understand what’s really happening, how to help without making things worse, or how to stop feeling so alone in it all.

That’s what our Caregiver Support & Education Programme (CSE) is here for.

💛 Learn about common mental health conditions and how they overlap, so things feel less confusing.
💛 Build empathy and patience by understanding what life feels like for those you care for.
💛 Discover ways to communicate with warmth and clear boundaries.
💛 Learn to care for your own well-being while supporting someone else.
💛 Connect with other caregivers who truly understand your journey.

You’ve been doing your best. Let’s make it a little easier together.

In Vol. 2 of our testimonial series, a few caregivers share how it has helped them in their journey.

If you know someone who’s caring for a loved one or could benefit from extra support, pass this along and let them know they’re not alone!

ADHD or Depression, or both?

When focus fades, motivation drops, and everything feels heavy… it’s easy to assume it’s just one thing. But ADHD and depression share many symptoms and misdiagnosis is common.
This post breaks down the overlap, the differences, and why it matters.

You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You might just need a clearer lens.

Depression changes the way a person experiences life: thoughts slow down, energy fades, and motivation disappears.
It’s one of the most common mental health conditions, yet still often misunderstood.

The more we understand it, the better we can support those who are living through it, or even ourselves.

Ever felt your mind racing faster than your body can keep up?
For people with ADHD, that’s an everyday experience.

ADHD goes beyond being easily distracted or restless. It affects how the brain takes in information, regulates emotions, and manages impulses — leading some to find it hard to focus, while others feel caught in a constant rush of energy and thoughts.

Having ADHD doesn’t define a person’s limits. With the right understanding, support, and routines — whether through therapy, medication, or lifestyle changes — life can feel calmer, clearer, and more in control. 💛

“People know me as the ‘Good morning!’ guy — but behind every smile, there’s a story.”

Meet Ben Teo, the man behind , who’s embarking on a solo motorcycle journey around Peninsular Malaysia from 16 to 20 October 2025 to raise awareness and funds for mental health, in collaboration with MMHA.

After battling anxiety since 2021, Ben is taking this ride to remind himself, and others, that even when the road feels lonely, we’re never truly alone.

Let’s support Ben as he rides for every person still finding their strength, and to help more people get the mental health support they need.
