SINGAPORE - Back in 2016, musician and former national athlete Eileen Chai's life was at a low point.
"Because of my mental health condition, I've lost performing and speaking engagement opportunities, I've hurt my friends emotionally, I've made my life difficult and lost confidence as a musician with my poor self-esteem," the 42-year-old violin teacher says.
