THE PHILIPPINES

 

The support for mental health is extremely limited in Manila and across the Philippines. There is no specific mental health support for men. In the National Capital Region (NCR), most major hospitals (both public and private) have a psychiatric department which caters to the need of people with mental illness.. BROS suggests that any fellas in the Philippines battling with suicide ideation, to go to your dearest hospital A&E.
