The WHO constitution states:
"Health is a state of complete physical, mental
and social well-being and not merely the absence
of disease or infirmity."
An important implication of this definition is that
mental health is more than just the absence of
mental disorders or disabilities.
WORLD HEALTH
ORGANIZATION AND RESPONSE

There is little epidemiological evidence on mental disorders


in the Philippines; however, some important data are
available.

For example, 14% of a population of 1.4 million Filipinos with


disabilities were identified to have a mental disorder
(Philippines Statistics Authority, 2010).

mental disorders. It focuses on 4 key objectives to:

strengthen effective leadership and governance for mental health;


provide comprehensive, integrated and responsive mental health

and
strengthen information systems, evidence and research for mental health.

international and national partners, including civil society,
to implement the plan.
