<p>In July, I was given a wonderful opportunity to be part of a meaningful venture taken on by The Media Pte Ltd for <a href="https://www.mediacorp.sg/en">Mediacorp&#8217;s</a> <a href="https://www.mewatch.sg/channels/suria/97084">Suria</a> channel. They produced a docu-drama series titled <a href="https://www.mewatch.sg/season/Misteri-Minda-258156">“Misteri Minda” (Mysteries of the Mind)</a> which aims to educate viewers about various mental illness conditions. The series was recently aired on Suria and on the <a href="https://www.mewatch.sg/">meWATCH</a> platform.</p>
<p>I had a chance to contribute to this episode on Stress and Gen-Z. A big thank you to the creator of the series, Mr Mohd Ali for making me comfortable throughout the filming process, producer Nur Imani for inviting me to be part of the show, and to the rest of The Media film crew who made me feel very welcome at their studio.</p>
