🧠📱 Should teens be on social media?

Senior Clinical Psychologist Dr Sandor Heng weighs in with CNA on social media, phone addiction, and why teens are especially vulnerable.

Teen brains are still developing. Likes, swipes, and endless scrolling are built for instant gratification, while constant comparison, , and body image pressure can overwhelm young minds.

In practice, Dr Heng sees growing red flags, loss of control, social media taking priority over school, relationships, and daily life.

Not yet a diagnosis, but a growing mental health concern. 💜

⚖️ New Court Rules. Clearer Justice. Expert Insight.

Why did Singapore introduce new rules on psychiatric expert evidence?

Dr Jacob Rajesh, Senior Consultant Psychiatrist at Promises Healthcare, breaks down how these reforms raise the bar for fairness, clarity, and scientific integrity in criminal cases.

By strengthening how mental health evidence is evaluated, the changes help protect vulnerable individuals and ensure expert opinions remain objective, rigorous, and clinically sound.

🌏✨ Singapore on the global forensic stage

Our Promises Healthcare clinicians presented a symposium, chaired by Dr Munidasa Winslow at the 43rd Annual Congress of the Australian and New Zealand Association of Psychiatry, Psychology and Law (ANZAPPL) in Hobart, where they received strong engagement and enthusiastic responses from international delegates.

Their session explored how evolving social norms and law reform in Singapore are reshaping forensic psychiatric and psychological practice. Using real cases, the team highlighted how intellectual capacity, depression, trauma, substance use and psychiatric evidence intersect with questions of justice, sentencing and human dignity.

This symposium featured
⭐ Ms Jerrie Tan on legal principles in death penalty drug trafficking cases
⭐ Dr Rajesh Jacob on mental disability, false confessions and overturned sentencing
⭐ Ms June Fong on depression, intellect and the scales of justice
⭐ Dr Lynette Rama on dual diagnosis and the legal paradox of self induced conditions

This international platform reflects our commitment to advancing ethical, evidence based practice at the intersection of psychiatry, psychology and law, strengthening Promises Healthcare’s position as a regional thought leader. 🇸🇬

✨ Lighting the Path to Healing and Hope - A Deepavali Message from Dr Munidasa Winslow ✨

As we celebrate the Festival of Lights, Dr Winslow reminds us that Deepavali is not just about illuminating our homes, but also about kindling light within; the light of compassion, healing, and hope.

🌟 Breaking the Cycle: Why True Recovery Goes Beyond Quitting 📰

Promises Healthcare Senior Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Munidasa Winslow shares his expert insights with The Straits Times on the growing concern of misuse in and the deeper realities behind recovery. ❤️‍🩹

Dr Winslow explains that true healing extends far beyond abstinence - it’s about understanding the “why” behind substance use, learning to manage cravings, and building healthier coping strategies for long-term change. 🫶

👉 “Recovery is an active process,” says Dr Winslow. “People can choose to abstain, but unless they address the underlying issues that drive their use, relapse is likely.”

His reflections serve as a timely reminder that addiction recovery is not just about willpower, but about compassion, self-awareness, and behavioural transformation. 🙌

📻 How ya doing, Singapore?

In this special World Mental Health Day edition on MONEY FM 89.3 “Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Humphreys Neil ask: Dr Adrian Loh (Senior Consultant Psychiatrist, Promises Healthcare) and Dr Jade Kua (Master Certified Coach & Founder, Jade Life and Wellness Coaching Clinic & Academy) what it truly means to move beyond awareness - and how to start building everyday resilience.

✋ Because awareness alone isn’t enough.

It’s what we do next, how we talk, listen, and show up for one another - that shapes our collective well-being. 💚

🫶 From burnout to youth anxiety, from family conversations to workplace stress, both experts remind us that mental health is not just about treatment, but about proactive care. One small step at a time: gratitude, empathy, open conversations, and the courage to seek help when needed.

Let’s make mental wellness a shared language in every home, school, and community. Together, we can build a kinder, healthier Singapore. 🌱
