Promoting Evidence-Based Mental Health Care for Community Well-Being

Find a Clinical Psychologist

Over the past couple of weeks, there have been claims by prominent figures and news outlets that the consumption of Tylenol (paracetamol) causes Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The Malaysian Society of Clinical Psychology (MSCP), in alignment with national and international health authorities, such as the American Psychological Association (APA) and the World Health Organization (WHO), wishes to address and correct the alarming piece of misinformation.

Recent social media trends and anecdotal reports have resurfaced this unsubstantiated theory, causing unnecessary anxiety among parents and caregivers. It is crucial to base public health guidance on robust scientific evidence, not on fear or correlation without causation.

The MSCP urges the public to seek information from credible medical sources and to consult with healthcare professionals regarding any health concerns. Spreading unverified claims can have real-world negative consequences. Our collective focus should be on supporting individuals with ASD and their families with accurate information and inclusive practices, not on promoting baseless fears.

🧠✨ Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness

Did you know?
In 2020, an estimated 8.5%–11% of Malaysians were living with Alzheimer’s disease — and this number is projected to rise by more than 300% by 2050.
Older adults (65+) are most affected, with risk increasing sharply with age.

Risk factors include genetics, lifestyle (e.g., poor diet, limited physical activity), and health conditions such as diabetes or hypertension.

Warning signs to look out for: persistent memory loss, confusion with time/place, difficulty completing familiar tasks, changes in mood or personality.

Early detection and prevention matter. 💜

Let’s raise awareness, support those affected, and advocate for brain health across the lifespan.

How far has the field of clinical psychology come?

The answers we gathered were honest: pride and gratitude for the progress so far, recognition of key advances, and openness about the gaps that still remain. Growth is clear—but so is the need for continued effort.

How would you describe the landscape of clinical psychology in Malaysia today?

Our second question is answered by both pioneers of the field and early-career psychologists. Their answers paint a picture of progress and challenges.

The field is seeing more awareness and demand, plus better collaboration across professions. But there’s still work to do in areas like quality of care, ongoing training, and building clear career paths.

Q1: What was it like to practice as a clinical psychologist when the profession was just starting out in Malaysia?

The early days were filled with challenges, from limited access to formal training and resources to the important task of educating the public and other professionals about what they do.

Their stories are a powerful reminder of how far the field has come and the incredible work that was done to build the strong foundation we have today in Malaysia.

“People with schizophrenia are dangerous.”

Let’s bust this myth.

The truth? Most individuals with schizophrenia are not violent, but they are often misunderstood, isolated, and stigmatized. The fear of danger is more often driven by misinformation than reality.

Let’s talk about it. Let’s build empathy, not fear.

Schizophrenia remains one of the most complex and misunderstood psychiatric conditions.

Two key awareness dates—World Schizophrenia Awareness Day (24 May) and National Schizophrenia Awareness Day (25 July)—serve as important reminders of the ongoing need for education, clinical understanding, and stigma reduction.

In support of this, we are launching a series to promote accurate knowledge about schizophrenia, its symptoms, and its impact. The need for continued awareness remains critical.

This series aims to provide clinically informed, accessible information to help foster early recognition, appropriate support, and greater empathy.

We love seeing Malaysians talk more openly about emotional well-being. But with the rise of self-development & “healing” programs, we also urge you to choose wisely. Your mental health deserves more than just good intentions, it deserves safe, ethical, evidence-based care.

If you or someone you know is seeking support for trauma, stress, or relationship issues, connect with a qualified mental health professional.

MSCP Townhall 2025: Highlights & Key Takeaways

A sincere thank you to all MSCP members who joined our recent virtual Townhall themed “Regulating Clinical Psychology under Act 774.” Your voices, questions, and engagement are shaping the way forward for our profession in Malaysia.

Here’s a quick recap of the conversations that mattered:

🔹 Clarifying registration vs. licensing — no licensing exam in Malaysia (yet).
🔹 Addressing technical issues with APC/PC processes — escalated for resolution.
🔹 Spotlight on academicians’ re-entry pathways, interprofessional collaboration, and CPD tracking.
🔹 Amplifying member voices around community support, membership renewals, and systemic improvements.

Your input makes a difference. Let’s continue building a profession rooted in integrity, clarity, and collective progress.

📣 Stay tuned for more updates from MSCP, because change happens when we speak, listen, and move together.

💙 “What’s one thing you think men struggle with but rarely talk about?”

Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts and opened up about this important topic. It takes courage and strength to shed light on struggles that too often stay hidden.

Mental health isn't just about comfortable chairs and talking to a therapist. It's also about building connection, and that connection starts with those around us.

As we approach the end of Mental Health Awareness Month, let's commit to fostering compassionate spaces. A simple "How are you? Apa khabar? Let’s have a drink together?” can be a lifeline. You don't need to be an expert to make a difference; you just need to be available.

Building trust opens the door to healing. If you're looking for resources, reliable information is available from Befrienders, MMHA, MIASA, ThriveWell, Selangor Mental Sihat Initiative or from us here at MSCP.

Community isn't a place; it's people. It's you, It's me, it’s all of us. Let's make mental well-being a shared responsibility.

Mitos: “Masalah kesihatan mental bermaksud anda lemah.”

Realiti: Mendapatkan bantuan untuk isu kesihatan mental bukan tanda kelemahan — ia adalah bukti kekuatan, keberanian, dan kesedaran diri. Untuk mengakui pergelutan mental / isu ini dan berusaha ke arah berkembang maju dalam kehidupan memerlukan keberanian yang tinggi.

Mari kita hapuskan mitos, hentikan stigma & menyokong satu sama lain

The Malaysian Society of Clinical Psychology is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help us form various subcommittees! Think of it as your chance to level up your involvement, collaborate with fellow amazing minds, and contribute directly to the growth and impact of our society.

We're envisioning subcommittees focusing on things like:

Professional Development: Because who doesn't love learning and growing together?
Community Outreach: Let's spread the word about mental wellness! 🗣
Membership & Engagement: Making our MSocP family even stronger and more connected!
(And maybe even more, depending on your brilliant ideas!)

No need to be a superhero (though we know many of you are!). Just bring your enthusiasm, a willingness to contribute, and maybe a sprinkle of your unique awesomeness.

Interested in lending a hand and being part of something cool? Drop us a message or comment below to express your interest! Let's build an even more vibrant and impactful MSCP together!

Looking forward to hearing from you! 😊

Happy (Belated) World CBT Day!

Better late than never!

World Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Day was officially on April 7th, and while we might be fashionably late to the online celebration, our appreciation for CBT runs deep every day.

Here at the Malaysian Society of Clinical Psychology (MSCP), we want to give a massive shout-out to this powerful, evidence-based approach! 🎉

What is CBT? It’s a type of therapy that helps us understand the crucial link between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It empowers individuals by teaching practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and develop healthier coping strategies.

From tackling anxiety and depression to managing stress and improving overall well-being, CBT has profoundly impacted countless lives globally and right here in Malaysia. It’s a cornerstone of modern psychotherapy, constantly evolving and helping people build resilience.

So, here’s to CBT! 🧠✨ Let’s continue to champion therapies that work and support mental well-being for all.
