CHAPTER 1

• Title: EFFECT OF THE CURRENT SITUATION OF OUR COUNTRY TO MENTAL HEALTH

• Statement of the Problem: We need to avoid ever -increasing case, improve our knowledge to protect young
adults from suffering and lowered the standards of the society
• Significance of the study: Mental disease, often known as mental health problems, encompasses a broad
spectrum of disorders that impact your emotions, thought, and behavior. Depression, anxiety disorders,
schizophrenia, eating disorders, and addictive behaviors are all examples of mental disease. Most mental
problems have no known origin, but research suggests that a mix of factors such as genes, biology,
psychological trauma, and environmental stress may be involved. Cases of mental health are constantly
increasing in young adults, During the pandemic, the Department of Health estimates that at least 3.6
million Filipinos are dealing with mental health concerns, including as depression, substance use disorders
like alcoholism, and mood disorders like bipolar disorder. COVID-19 infection has been shown to have a
direct effect on a person's mental health. Most common of mental illness are anxiety for teenagers. The
mental health issue in our country looks like a joke a lot of adults think teenager shouldn’t have this kind of
problems because they are too young and they don’t have any responsibilities. Once they know their child
have a mental problem they will call it dramatic and it will make more worse the situation of their child.
The number one who cause our mental health problems is our family, they will make you feel like a burden
to them, they will increase their standards that their child needed to reach. And the society make it worse
they will discriminate between what you look like and what your physical appearance is. In the
Philippines, stigma against people with mental diseases is widespread, and there appears to be a lack of
sensitivity when discussing mental health issues. People with mental diseases are subjected to a variety of
forms of stigma.

 • Summary, Conclusion, and Recommendation: 1) It affects badly our emotions got mixed, it ruined our own
personalities. A lot of teenagers facing the struggle of having mental health become the cause of suicide.
Sometimes choose to attempt suicide or cutting themselves. Mental health become the worst enemy that
hard to handle. We chose to stay quiet than to speak out our feelings because we afraid to heard a hurtful
words. 2) It makes our mental health becomes worse on how the society makes fun about physical
appearance and how the society ruined our/my confidents. You need to be pretty, have a glass skin, and rich
just to be fit on the standard of society. 3) Discuss your emotions. Simply being listened to might make you
feel more supported and less alone in your troubles. Have a restful night's sleep. Sleep and mental health
are intertwined: bad sleep can affect your mental health, and poor mental health can affect your sleep Eat
well. A healthy diet can boost your mood and make you feel better. Keep moving. Physical activity is
beneficial not only to your body but also to your mind. Mindfulness is a technique for being completely
engaged and present in the present moment. Maintain contact. Friends who are supportive can help you
cope with life's challenges, make you feel cared for, and provide a new perspective on whatever is on your
mind.
• For all to be good we must be open minded about mental health, be a listener if someone needs to talk all
the problems she/he had. Don’t be judgmental if someone’s facing a mental health problem because always
remember were not stepping on the same shoes. Most mental illnesses will not improve if you try to treat
them on your own without expert help. However, there are certain things you can do for yourself that will
help you stick to your treatment plan: Stick to your treatment plan. Don't skip your counseling
appointments.
