In a world that constantly pushes us to stay strong and “just keep going,” it takes true bravery to say, “I need help.” As a mental health advocate, I’ve seen how many Filipinos silently carry heavy emotional burdens — afraid of judgment, or simply unaware of where to turn. But here’s the good news: help is available, and it’s free.

The University of the Philippines – Philippine General Hospital (UP PGH) is offering free online psychiatric consultations. This service is a huge step forward in making mental health support more accessible, especially for those who may not have the means to seek private care.

We often forget that mental health is just as important as physical health. Conditions like depression, anxiety, or burnout are real — and they are valid. Hindi mo kailangang hintayin na “sobrang lala” bago humingi ng tulong.

📌 Here’s how you can book your FREE consultation:

Go to https://pghopd.up.edu.ph Fill out the patient registration form Wait for your confirmed schedule via email or SMS

You’ll be connected with licensed professionals who are trained to listen and help — no judgment, just support.
