University in interacting and learning together with medical students of MAHSA University. The theme used in ICE 2021 is "Are we okay?: Strengthen Our Mental Health Awareness". This theme is chosen based on the tendency of the increasing number of cases of mental disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic situation. Regardless of the pandemic situation, mental health disorders are contributing to the cause of suicides worldwide. Although it has improved, the general public’s understanding of the importance of mental health and the impact mental disorders have on us needs to be strengthened.
I am glad to share my clinical experience in anxiety management and creating awareness for all the future medical doctors here. I hope more people will engage mental health support such as trauma-informed hypnotherapy in the early intervention and secondary prevention phrase. Although poor mental health may not indicate that you live with mental illness, but it still may affect our day to day behaviors and functions of individuals in work.
