Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero wants the DOH to lead a nationwide study on the current mental health state of Filipinos following a number of students taking their own lives during the pandemic. | MAgerINQ
“Dapat na maisama sa pag-aaral pati na mga ordinaryong mga Pilipino mula sa ibat-ibang sektor – nagtatrabaho o walang trabaho. Mahalagang makuha ang mga datos na iyan para malaman natin kung papaano natin gagawan ng remedyo o solusyon ang problemang ito,” he added.
At the time, he said, there were already reports of people – both students and workers – experiencing clinical depression and even committing suicides.“It has been two years and I have yet to see a comprehensive study on this subject. Kaya lumalabas na may problema tayo sa elementary at high school students dahil iyan lamang naman ang may datos at pag-aaral na ginawa,” he added.
For the senator, “there is really a need to promote mental health and wellness that is strongly supported by the government due to the alarming rise in mental health-related cases in the country.”
