In addition, the pandemic has also increased emotional distress, anxiety and depression among the community and impacted the mental well-being of all walks of life in the world, including Malaysia.

In this regard, the Ministry of Health Malaysia has launched the Let's TALK Healthy Minds Media Campaign which is implemented in line with the Mental Health Publicity Plan under the National Agenda of Healthy Malaysia (ANMS). The first phase of the campaign is focused on teenagers and working adults.
