PETALING JAYA: A lonely teenager sits quietly in her room, playing on her mobile phone and refusing to leave even to eat.

Anisah’s story is not entirely out of the ordinary as more and more teenagers nowadays are struggling with mental health issues. Depression was significantly higher among females standing at 36.1 compared to males , with Labuan having the highest percentage at 34.4% followed by Kuala Lumpur at 32.4%. According to the AHS, teenagers reported having less of a bond or feeling connected with their parents.

Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman Faculty of Arts and Social Science Department of Psychology and Counselling Assistant Professor Dr Grace T’ng Soo Ting said studies suggest that the absence or lack of parental or guardian supervision can increase the likelihood of teenagers experiencing some developmental issues.

“Adolescents who had divorced or separated parents or guardians and married parents or guardians but living apart due to job commitment were at higher risk for stress,” she added.
