The first step in tackling su***de is having someone to talk to, making sure you are not alone.

Here in the Philippines, there are several hotlines providing affordable, accessible crisis services to all Filipinos in need.

To all those struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts - or who know a loved one currently in battle - please be aware and share of the resources available.

Know that you are not and will never be alone. There will always be someone who can help.

There are many misconceptions that are still being parrotted that not only lead to a stigmitization of mental illness, but can paint a bad picture of those with mental illness. Here are some to remember to correct if you hear being echoed in public:

❌If a person is not experiencing mental illness then it is safe to conclude that he or she is mentally healthy.

✅Mental health is not simply the absence of detectable mental disorder. According to the Philippine Psychiatric Association, mental health is a balance of all aspects of life- physical, emotional, social and spiritual.

❌ A person with a very low self-esteem, and thinks negatively can still be considered as mentally healthy

✅Having good self-esteem is part of being mentally healthy, even if you don't have a diagnosed illness or disorder

❌ Children don’t experience mental health problems

✅Anyone of any age can have mental health problems

❌ People with mental health problems are violent and unpredictable

✅Only a small percentage of people with mental health problems are violent and unpredictable. Most are perfectly capable members of society and who are often bullied to victims of violence because of mental illness.

❌ If I visit a psychologist or a psychiatrist, it means that I have mental illness

✅Even people with normal life problems can visit mental health professionals, there's no need to treat it as odd

If you or your organization want to help fight misinformation regarding mental illness, contact us at: info@renewhealthph.com.
