At Newport Mental Health, this isn’t a new idea. It's something we've known for a long time: behavioral health is health.

Panic attacks, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affect 56% of our clients. While people often think that these disorders exist only “in the mind,” anyone who has experienced them knows this isn’t true. These conditions show up in the body as much as they do in our thoughts. To truly help people heal, treatment requires an integrated approach that recognizes the deep connection between mind and body and supports the whole person, not just their symptoms.

The sweating continued as he took the lift to the void deck and walked to the nearby MRT station. It left the young man, who is now 24, slightly confused as it was not a warm day.

While waiting for the train, he felt a little woozy. And the train, when it came, was packed.

“I was near the door and then, everything became blurry. I couldn’t quite breathe,” he said. 

He scrambled to get off at the next stop. His heart was racing, and he felt like he would pass out.

Mr Rashath, an only child, called his mother. They went to the polyclinic near their home in Kallang, thinking it might be long Covid, as he had had a recent bout of Covid-19. The doctor there gave him flu medication and told him to monitor his symptoms...

Carolina Lasso had given many similar talks about her marketing team’s accomplishments. When her name was called this time, she couldn’t speak.

“I felt a knot in my throat,” Lasso said. “My head, it felt like it was inside a bubble. I couldn’t hear, I couldn’t see, and it felt like an eternity. It was just a few seconds, but it was so profound, and in a way earth-shattering to me.”
