The Burden of Mental Disorders in the Philippines

14% of a population of 1.4 million Filipinos with disabilities were identified to have a
mental disorder (Philippines Statistics Authority, 2010). The National Statistics Office
identified that mental illness is the third most prevalent form of morbidity, however
the finding that only 88 cases of mental health problems were reported for every
100 000 of the population (DOH, 2005) is likely an underestimate of the true extent
of these issues.

Self-Awareness
The Teenages Years
#TheQuestForIdentity
Teen Age years is one of the most
challenging part of one's life
So what can we do about it?

Xavier Babista, one of the Campus Life

Coaches of ENCM Philippines, stated in his
lecture with Life Classes on November 2010
the following Pitfalls of Not Knowing Your
identity.
 You won't know why you live. Not knowing your identity means not
knowing your gift area. You won’t know what to share to your family, your
community, the nation and the world as a whole. When you are operating
outside your make-up and your purpose, you are more prone to fatigue,
you will be striving. For example, a chair was meant to be sat on. We might
be able to use the chair for other purposes- stack books on, serve as some
sort of a ladder to get something from a place you couldn’t reach, or use it
to break someone’s back – but the fact still remains that it functions best
when it is sat on.
Both positive and negative emotions are meant to be tools which will help
us navigate life. But oftentimes, the problem lies in the way we handle
them. We must always remember that anything taken excessively is not
good. Even positive emotions can have disastrous results when taken in the
wrong context. Love can border on obsession; too much happiness can
affect our being watchful.
 Negative Emotions and Proper Responses In his book,
Making Your Emotions Work for You, Dr. Sala listed tips in
handling some of the negative emotions (109).

-Anger. Anger often stems from stress, frustration, personal

affronts, violation of rights or simply seeing situations that
counter one’s value system.
-Worry. Worry is the result of anxiety blown out of
proportion. Results of a research on the adverse
effects of worry showed that worry is unrealistic.

-Fear. No one is exempted from fear. Some types of

phobia could range from the funny to thebizarre as
listed in the first pages of this modules.
