MANILA, Philippines — Mental health conditions are a global concern, affecting approximately one in eight people worldwide as reported by the World Health Organizations (WHO).
In the Philippines, according to the National Statistics Office (NSO), mental health illnesses rank third in terms of morbidity. Studies also indicate that stress, anxiety, and depression are prevalent mental health issues in the country. These statistics underscore the need to prioritize mental health and seek support when needed.
As we strive for a healthier life, it’s crucial to recognize that these two aspects of well-being — physical and mental health — are intricately intertwined.
Mental health conditions can significantly impact physical health. According to a study by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institute of Mental Health, individuals with mental health disorders are at a higher risk of developing chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Moreover, NIMH also reported that stress, anxiety, and depression can weaken the immune system, making individuals more vulnerable to infections and illnesses.

Engaging in regular physical activity has been shown to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Additionally, adequate sleep, a balanced diet, stress management, and regular intake of supplements are essential components of a healthy lifestyle. These factors can contribute to both physical and mental well-being.
A holistic approach to health, which encompasses physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being, is essential for optimal health outcomes. By addressing all aspects of our health, we can create a strong foundation for a fulfilling life.
