This month is Tourette Awareness Month.

Tourette Syndrome is one type of Tic Disorder. Tics are involuntary, repetitive movements and vocalizations. They are the defining feature of a group of childhood-onset, neurodevelopmental conditions known collectively as Tic Disorders and individually as Tourette Syndrome, Chronic Tic Disorder (Motor or Vocal Type), and Provisional Tic Disorder. The three Tic Disorders are distinguished by the types of tics present (motor, vocal/ phonic, or both) and by the length of time that the tics have been present.

Individuals with Tourette Syndrome (TS) have had at least two motor tics and at least one vocal/ phonic tic in some combination over the course of more than a year. By contrast, individuals with Chronic Tic Disorder have either motor tics or vocal tics that have been present for more than a year, and individuals with Provisional Tic Disorder have tics that have been present for less than a year.

UALA LUMPUR, July 4 — AIA Malaysia has decided to cover mental illness, believed to be the first Malaysian insurance company to do so.

The insurance company now provides coverage for depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, Tourette’s syndrome, and bipolar disorder and postpartum depression.

At yesterday’s AIA Malaysia’s Annual Mid Year Congress 2019, AIA Malaysia chief marketing officer Heng Zee Wang announced that the company would now include mental health as part of its coverage.


A source from AIA Malaysia also confirmed with CodeBlue separately that the company would now cover mental illnesses, effective immediately.

In Singapore, AIA launched the country’s first insurance policy offering coverage for mental illnesses early this year. However, it does not include postpartum depression.

Just last May, Deputy Health Minister Lee Boon Chye called on insurance companies to provide coverage for mental health.

He stated that as mental health was a major problem here, such coverage would not only be useful for those needing assistance, but that it would also help create awareness on the importance of caring for that part of health. Lee also pointed out that treatment for mental health could be quite costly.

Malaysia Psychiatric Association patron Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye had earlier called for the Ministry of Health to work on providing insurance coverage for mental health care and treatment.

One area of concern is the state of mental health among young people.

The National Health and Morbidity Survey 2017 on mental health among youths revealed that one out of five adolescents felt depressed; two out of five felt anxious; 11.2 per cent had suicidal ideation and 10.1 per cent had attempted suicide.

A 16-year-old girl from Kuching killed herself last May after her followers voted on Instagram for her death, triggering a nationwide debate on mental health.

There were 5.5 million adolescents in Malaysia as of 2018.



The insurance benefits for mental health are covered under the Health Wallet feature available as part of A-Plus Health.

All new and existing customers of A-Plus Health will be able to utilise this benefit without any increase in premiums or insurance charges and will be able to claim up to RM1,500 per year in psychiatric consultation fees when visiting any private or government hospitals.

The benefit will cover the earlier announced six mental health conditions.

It is also offered under the shariah-compliant version, A-Plus Health-i.

AIA Malaysia has ventured in this area before when in 2017, it introduced A-Life Lady360 which covers Psychotherapy Treatment for Anxiety and Depression as well as A-Plus BabyCare which covers Autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

It is one of the only licensed psychological rehab centre in PJ.
The nurses will monitor the medication and got therapists to support patient.

Any psychological rehab centre like that in Penang? I know Lam Wah Ee has an inpatient Psychiatric Facilities. The problem is my mom is having Schizophrenia and it's sooo hard to get her admitted. The psychiatry will always ask to go for ECT (Electroconvulsive therapy) which I don't think is good for her in a long run as she keeps relapsing.
Anyone out there whose family member is having long-term mental health condition like Schizophrenia?

Thanks for all your info sharing zeropoint9
