A recent Duke-NUS study reveals that almost 80% of Singaporean adults experiencing anxiety or depression do not seek professional help. Despite this, the majority are receptive to peer support, indicating a potential avenue for addressing the significant gap in mental healthcare access. The findings suggest a strong openness to informal, community-based mental health initiatives. This highlights unmet needs within the population despite a willingness to engage with support systems. Researchers believe bolstering these community networks could be crucial in improving mental wellbeing. The study underscores the importance of accessible and non-clinical support options alongside traditional professional care. Further investigation into effective peer support models is warranted, given the data.
