Mental Health in the Phillipines

By | October 13, 2008

A recent study endorsed by the PPA (Philippine Psychiatric Association) revealed that “32 percent of government workers are suffering from one form of mental disorder or another.”

“This goes to show that from all walks of life there are a lot of mental health issues that could be problematic to the individual, but they are not seeking treatment for several reasons,” said the PPA chair of the committee on advocacy, legislation and multimedia.

This is why the “PPA is concentrating its efforts on educating the public about seeking the help of psychiatrists.”
