Societal cost of 6 common mental health disorders estimated at $1.7b yearly: IMH study

SINGAPORE - A study by the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) has identified for the first time the societal cost of six common mental health disorders here, estimated at about $1.7 billion per year. It found that the healthcare system or society would be expected to incur $3,938.90 more in total costs a year for an individual associated with these conditions compared with someone without a disorder. The costs refer to healthcare utilisation costs and productivity loss. The six common mental health disorders identified in the study are major depressive disorder, general anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence. The $1.7 billion figure was derived from a 13.9 per cent prevalence rate of common mental health conditions among adults aged 18 and above, an estimated more than 433,000 persons, said IMH on Monday (Oct 4). These findings were from the second Singapore Mental Health Study, initiated in 2016, which examined the prevalence of common mental health disorders here, their associated factors, treatment gap and the local adult population's help-seeking behaviour.

Alibaba pledges $20.8 billion to China’s ‘common prosperity’ drive

SHANGHAI (REUTERS) - China's Alibaba Group Holding will invest 100 billion yuan (S$20.8 billion) by 2025 in support of "common prosperity", it said, becoming the latest corporate giant to pledge support for the initiative driven by Chinese President Xi Jinping. Beijing has been encouraging companies to share wealth as part of an effort to ease inequality in the world's second-largest economy. Other companies that have made similar announcements include Tencent Holdings, which also pledged 100 billion yuan, and Geely Automobile. The government-backed Zhejiang News website said Alibaba's funds will go towards areas such as subsidies for small and medium-sized enterprises and improving insurance protection for gig economy workers such as couriers and ride-hailing drivers. It will also set up a 20 billion yuan "common prosperity development fund", the newspaper said, with Alibaba confirming the report. The e-commerce giant and its tech rivals have been the target of a wide-ranging regulatory crackdown on issues ranging from monopolistic behaviour to consumer rights. Alibaba was fined a record US$2.75 billion (S$3.69 billion) in April over monopoly violations. The sector has also attrac...
