    It's time to talk about mental illness

    Life, Pimrapee Thungkasemvathana, Published on 31/03/2015

    » My family has a history of mental illness. My father has eight siblings. His elder sister and youngest brother were sick for a long time. They were not diagnosed or treated until much later in their lives. My aunt, now 61, lives with bipolar disorder. She is on medication. She works and she travels. She is strong. Years ago, she taught my brother and I to speak Mandarin. Years from now, she will teach my nephews and nieces to add and subtract. Now, some days are good. She gets up. Other days, she says she feels hopeless even in her sleep. We don't talk about it very much, almost not at all.

    » ‘I ended up in Java from despair,” says Christopher Guy Harrison, founder of luxury furnishing brand Christopher Guy. He leans back on his Cezanne sofa, which takes up almost 5m of his living room in a penthouse in Singapore, and crosses his feet. He is wearing cowboy boots. The view from where he sits is spectacular. Marina Bay Sands and Esplanade accentuates the panoramic view south of the city, idle ships dot the open sea. The curved sofa has been designed to mimic the meandering of the Seine.

    Give and let live

    » Picture a motorbike messenger delivering your dying mother, father, sister or lover a heart for transplant. The donated heart must be preserved in a solution at about 4C and can only remain viable for transplant for no more than four hours, though a kidney can last up to 24 hours. And not all dead bodies are viable for organ donation. Only donors who have been declared brain-dead by three doctors, or on life support and with functioning disease-free organs, will be considered. More importantly, the organ must match the body of the recipient.
