The government is encouraged to ensure the Mental Health Act is implemented properly.

On Monday, the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) demanded that the Mental Health Act be implemented correctly to guarantee Filipinos access to psychosocial health treatments.

The CHR claimed that the pandemic and the resulting socioeconomic issues had highlighted the significance of mental health and well-being.

Before the epidemic, one in eight people worldwide reported having mental health issues, according to the study.

According to the CHR, there was a considerable increase in hotline calls about despair and suicide in the Philippines, particularly at the height of the pandemic.

Making mental health and well-being for all a worldwide priority is the World Health Organization’s theme for Mental Health Awareness Month in October.

During this time, the nation would observe National Mental Health Week from October 10 to October 16.

The CHR stated that the current phase of recovery is a good opportunity to step up efforts and mainstream the conversation on mental health to combat stigma towards people dealing with mental health difficulties.

It was underlined that other fundamental rights that are “equally vital to build an enabling and holistic environment conducive to mental health” must be implemented.
