National Nutrition Council MIMAROPA supports the observance of the National Mental Health Week this second week of October by the virtue of Proclamation No. 452.
Mental health is equally important to physical health to achieve overall health and wellness. This includes the emotional, psychological, and social well-being, affecting how people think, feel, and behave.
In the Philippines, mental illness is the third most common disability with an estimated 6 million Filipinos living with depression and/or anxiety. Even with the availability of mental health services, there is a low help-seeking behavior among Filipinos primarily due to the stigma that mental health connotes, added to it the financial constraints and inaccessibility of services.
