Self-assess to know your mental health

Most of the time, we have the symptoms of psychological distress but unlike physical health like flu, fever and such, we overlook the psychological symptoms that indicate we are not ok.  Perhaps, it is easier to “see” physical symptoms as compared to psychological symptoms.  But, the thing when it comes to psychological symptoms, it can be manifested through physical expression.  So, in this case, we can self-assess ourselves as a preliminary attempt to get help from professional people who are trained to help us with psychological distress. 

I find useful website with various self-tests for FREE (only some of the tests are FREE such as mental health assessment, anger, attention span, mental speed, romantic personality, procrastination, blood pressure quiz, and menopause quiz ) .  

iHadir

Since its implementation in April 2019, iHadir has been used as a means to slide in attendance.  Personally, I find that it is convenient to use especially if I am “outside” of the faculty where I can slide in my attendance using my phone or laptop (with internet connection).   I remember there was a time I was at the Perdana College to evaluate students’ projects on 23 April 2019 (Tuesday) and Dr Amirmuddin was there as one of the judges.  He offered me to use his smartphone to slide in my attendance after he did his.  He showed me how to use iHadir using our smartphone.  Unfortunately, my smartphone is a bit outdated so there are times when I have difficulty to log in to iHadir.  😀
