Pustaka Negeri
Sarawak
has organized a community lecture titled "Mental Health" on July 7, 2011 from 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm at the Auditorium, Level 1, State Library.

The guest speaker for this lecture was Dr. Ismail Drahman from Normah Medical Specialist Centre.

The lectures are intended to peel on the issue of mental disorders in brief. The presence of mental disorders among workers are often denied. Even in patients already undergoing treatment as far as possible do not want anyone, especially their colleagues to know their problems because it is considered very shameful thing.

Mental illness is not due to poor brain function as a mental patient's brain is still in its normal state. It also has nothing to do with personality or bad behavior and the way parents raise children. Mental disorders occur when the balance of chemicals in the brain affected.

Talk in the evening followed by a question and answer session between participants and speakers present. This session ended with a presentation of souvenirs from the State Library to Dr. Ismail Drahman.
