About MentalHealth PH

MentalHealth PH is written and kept up to date by the MentalHealth PH Editorial Team, a small group of writers and editors in the Philippines. We publish plain-language information about mental health for Filipinos: what anxiety and depression can look like, how therapy works, and where to find help.

We are writers, not clinicians. We read the official sources, check every hotline number before it goes up, and send you to licensed psychiatrists and psychologists for anything that needs a professional.

What this site is, and is not

This is an information site. It is not a clinic, it cannot diagnose anyone, and nothing here replaces a consultation with a doctor or psychologist. If you are in danger right now, call 911 or see the hotlines page.

How the guides are written

• Hotline numbers are checked against each organisation’s own website before they go up.
• We do not name medicines, doses or prices. Treatment decisions belong with your doctor.
• We avoid statistics we cannot source, and we link to official pages for laws and government services.

Where the doctor links go

When a guide points you to a psychiatrist or psychologist, the link goes to NowServing, a Philippine doctor directory where you can see clinic schedules and book, including online consults. We have a referral arrangement with NowServing, so this site may benefit when you book through these links. The guides never recommend a particular doctor.
