Mental health is a deeply personal and individual experience, varying from one to another due to an array of factors such as genetics, upbringing, life experiences and societal influences. Some might find solace in social connections, while others thrive through solitude. However, it’s increasingly evident that Generation Z, born in the mid-1990s to early 2010s, seems to place a heightened emphasis on mental health compared to older generations. Gen Zers appear to be more open and proactive in discussing mental health issues, and this has led to a growing societal acceptance of prioritising mental well-being. This has fostered more open conversations, encouraging others to seek support and has led to a broader acknowledgement of the importance of mental health in overall well-being.
In an effort to understand the perception of mental health across different age groups, we speak to three individuals from diverse age brackets and we learned that regardless of age, mental well-being remains a top priority for them. Let’s hear from Marion Caunter, 40s, Izzana Salleh, 30s, and Steve Khiew Hoe Yean, 20s, who come from various backgrounds, on what they have to say about mental health.
MARION CAUNTER
Caunter is not only a fashion icon and successful entrepreneur but also a devoted mother of three. Beyond her glamorous image, she emphasises the importance of authenticity.
