According to the Hong Kong Mental Morbidity Survey 2010-2013, mental disorders are found in 13.3% of Chinese adults aged 16 to 75 in the city, with 1.5% suffering specifically from anxiety disorders such as panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and phobias. While mental health problems affect more of us than we realise, the persistent stigma and taboo around them make it difficult for people to come forward and seek help.

To promote understanding of people troubled by panic disorder and the support they need, the Mental Health Foundation has produced a micro-film titled Fight Against My Fear, inspired by the true story of Hong Kong-raised New Zealander, Aaron Stadlin-Robbie, who is a rugby player and a radio host. Watch the film now through the link below and join the fight against stigma surrounding mental health issues!
