Caring for your mental health: Therapy and self-care

Those of us who follow the Olympics closely would have been aware of the shocking decision that Simon Biles, four-time Olympic gold medalist, made in the early stages of the Tokyo Olympics. Citing mental health concerns, Biles said said "We also have to focus on ourselves, because at the end of the day, we're human, too. We have to protect our mind and our body, rather than just go out there and do what the world wants us to do."

At the end of the day, gold medal or not, we're all human beings who have to prioritize our mental health. But sometimes, when too much is happening too fast, we often forget to do just that.

We're here to remind you today. We've gathered a list of amazing merchants you can depend on for self-care and to look out for your mental wellness.

Mind Care Clinic - Farrer Park Hospital

If you should only remember one thing about Mind Care Clinic, it is that among its professional doctors is Professor Kua Ee Hok, a psychiatrist with a lot to his name. For one, he was the CEO and Medical Director of the Institute of Mental Health (IMH). He was also the Head of Department of Psychological Medicine in National University of Singapore.

But that's not to say that he is the only doctor worth mentioning at Mind Care Clinic. Here, each doctor is experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of mental health and psychiatric conditions and works closely together to ensure an excellent patient care experience for each and every patient.

With a belief in optimizing mental health through mindfulness and other relaxation techniques, the clinic is specially designed to provide patients with an environment of comfort and privacy. Each and every visit will be a therapeutic experience for you.

The bottom-line: Putting (mental) health first

Although the topic of mental health is increasingly talked about these days, it still takes a backseat in our daily lives. Speaking about mental health is also seen as a taboo among many of us.

Think about it: we often talk about going to the gym to keep fit or visiting the doctor's when we are down with the flu or a fever. Taking care of our physical health seems like a given. But what about our mental health?

Remember, mental health impacts how we feel, think and behave each day. And along with our physical health, we've got to take care of our mental health.
