Issue #5 of Imagine

Imagine focuses on all aspects of mental health and wellness, with information on common mental health conditions, tips and advice on maintaining mental well-being, and stories of persons-in-recovery. In this issue, we look at how we can nurture resilience in ourselves and dispel myths associated with taking psychiatric medication. Other highlights include playwright Haresh Sharma’s take on mental illness in his play Off Centre, and a feature on the role of general practitioners in providing mental healthcare in the community.
