Event Details
According to a 2024 study by the Institute of Mental Health (IMH), about 1 in 4 youths experience anxiety, while 1 in 7 report symptoms of depression.
Wish to better understand or support someone living with mental illness? A new textbook, Practise Psychiatry–A Guide through Vignettes and MCQs, covers a broad spectrum of psychiatric disorders, from the familiar (anxiety, insomnia, depression) to the lesser-discussed (schizophrenia, addiction, gender dysphoria).
Written by three generations of psychiatrists from NUH, the book combines fresh exam insights, clinical expertise, and mentorship wisdom into one invaluable resource. Join us in a dialogue with the authors to hear first-hand account of the fascinating stories behind the book.
Our librarians will also be sharing psychiatry resources, accompanied by a curated book display featuring seminal works on psychiatry and mental health in Singapore—all from our collection.
Following that, engage in a fireside chat with leaders in psychiatry care, research, education, and national mental health advocacy.
You are also invited to explore exciting booths comprising both digital and physical activity including book signing, photo booth, live painting and more.
This event is organised in collaboration with Department of Psychological Medicine, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine.
