His findings support the Malaysia Mental Health Association&#8217;s October 2020 claim that the incidence of mental illness in Malaysia doubled during the COVID-19 lockdown.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The results also revealed that young people between the ages of 19 and 25 made up the bulk of the affected population. Young people are frequently the most susceptible to mental health problems, thus this is cause for concern. Their mental health has been significantly impacted by the pandemic&#8217;s worry and uncertainty, as well as the interruption to their social and educational lives.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">In order to reflect on and implement psychological ideas and practises in a local context, Azrul underlined the significance of comprehending them. He also talked about how his time at SEGi and the University of Greenwich helped him develop personally and academically.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Azrul presented his research and conclusions in a poster at the University of Greenwich&#8217;s Student Exhibition Center. This is an important step in bringing attention to Malaysia&#8217;s mental health challenges and in promoting additional study and action to solve the problem.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">It is critical to place a high priority on mental health and wellbeing as the COVID-19 epidemic continues to have an impact on people&#8217;s lives all across the world. In order to ensure that young Malaysians&#8217; requirements for mental health support are satisfied during these trying times, Azrul&#8217;s research emphasises the need for more resources and assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20331\" src=\"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/subangjaya\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/Positive-Psychology-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1810\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/subangjaya\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/Positive-Psychology-1-scaled.jpg 1810w, https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/subangjaya\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/Positive-Psychology-1-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/subangjaya\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/Positive-Psychology-1-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/subangjaya\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/Positive-Psychology-1-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/subangjaya\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/Positive-Psychology-1-1086x1536.jpg 1086w, https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/subangjaya\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/Positive-Psychology-1-1448x2048.jpg 1448w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1810px) 100vw, 1810px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Azrul Azhan Bin Ahmad Fauzi, mental health problems among young Malaysians doubled during the COVID-19 lockdown.\u00a0 At the University of Greenwich&#8217;s Student Conference, psychology student Azrul Azhan Bin [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":20333,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[77],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/subangjaya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20330"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/subangjaya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/subangjaya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/subangjaya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/39"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/subangjaya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20330"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/subangjaya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20330\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20633,"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/subangjaya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20330\/revisions\/20633"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/subangjaya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/subangjaya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/subangjaya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colleges.segi.edu.my\/subangjaya\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
