Mental health is this generation’s battle—even more so now, while the country is on lockdown, and people are either self-isolating or self-quarantining as the world tries to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Awareness of mental health issues has reduced the stigma of seeking help and treatment. However, it is still an issue that a hundred-odd million Filipinos have only 600 psychiatrists in the country to meet their needs.
The good news is that technology is making mental health treatment more accessible and acceptable.
In this episode, BusinessWorld’s Joseph L. Garcia talks to Mindcare Club’s Brian Tenorio and Dr. Jeremie de Guzman, about telemental health, a service that aims to bring mental healthcare to you through a screen in the security of your own home. Recorded on February 24 at the BusinessWorld Studio in Quezon City. Produced by Nina M. Diaz, Paolo L. Lopez, and Sam L. Marcelo.
