Dealing with life’s difficulties requires a lot of nurture and care from the important people around us. And healthcare professionals often talk about having support systems for mental health. Challenging ang magkaroon ng mental health problems in these trying times but remedy is possible and accessible. There are factors to consider when faced with a crisis. When mental burnout takes its toll on us, we bear both the emotional and the psychological burden.
This is where mental wellness works—hand-in-hand with a strong and firm support network. Mental health is equally important as physical health. Let’s remember that our body is honest when it needs rest. Just like when mental exhaustion hits, we do need to take some time off, too. And there are times that call for us to simply be with the presence of the good people supporting us on the sidelines and get us back on our feet again.
In 2018, the Philippine Mental Health Act was signed establishing a National Mental Health policy for the purpose of enhancing the delivery of integrated mental health services promoting and protecting the rights of a person utilizing psychiatric, neurologic, and psychosocial health services—protektado tayo at ang ating mga karapatan. At dahil na rin sa tumataas na mental health cases sa Pilipinas, the World Health Organization (WHO) extends their congratulatory message for the passage of this mandate. Truly a momentous achievement for the Filipino people recognizing the value of mental support which the WHO commended.
Research has shown that support systems for mental health can have a positive impact on one’s overall mental health lalo na para sa mga kababaihan, older adults, patients, empleyado, at pati na sa mga estudyante. Surrounding yourself with good people can help you tremendously on your mental wellness journey.
