One in seven people in Singapore have experienced a mental disorder such as bipolar disorder or alcohol abuse in their lifetime, an increase from roughly one in eight several years ago.
The top three mental disorders here were major depressive disorder, alcohol abuse and obsessive compulsive disorder. This is based on the finding of the second Singapore Mental Health Study, which started in 2016 and involved interviews with 6,126 Singaporeans and permanent residents.
The study also found that the proportion of people with mental disorders who were not seeking help remains high. From more than eight in 10 people (82.1 per cent) in the 2010 study, the number fell slightly to 78.4 per cent — or more than three in four people — in 2016.
